Jolie Menzel

Narrative & Visual Storytelling Leader. Design Director with AAA & Indie Expertise

I’ve spent over 15 years leading narrative and design on everything from blockbuster franchises to experimental indies, writing for acclaimed titles, and helping teams align story, systems, and player experience.

I’m currently a Senior Designer at Double Fine Productions. I'm a co-founder of Zunzún Studios and serve as the Studio Design Director. Alongside my studio work, I do freelance consulting and writing. I also invest time in sharing what I’ve learned through presentations, podcasts, and mentorship programs.
