He received his Masters degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia, and a Bachelor of Arts from Vanderbilt University.

Previous project work includes the design of the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project, Governors Island Park and Public Space, the David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center on the historic Kykuit Estate, visioning for the Essex Hudson Greenway, and master planning for the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. From 2016 to 2020, Will was a visiting assistant professor at Pratt Institute and taught in the Urban Placemaking and Management program.
