Katie Menzies

Katie Menzies is the founder and director of Cabeza Patata Studio, creator of Patata School, and Forbes Under 30 Lister. She took an unconventional path into the design industry; after studying French Literature and Politics at the University of Bristol, and living in various cities, at the age of 24 she decided to form her character design studio. After just four years, Cabeza Patata has worked with tech giants such as Google, Apple, Microsoft and Spotify, and has done editorial illustration for The New York Times, The New Yorker, El País and Icon Design. Perspectives from Katie's political background inform much of the work of Cabeza Patata. Her interest in diversity and female empowerment are at the centre of the project. They bring a fresh perspective and new way of understanding 3D design, and a different approach to teaching others to make the industry more open and accessible for everyone.
