TRU LUV welcomes people of all backgrounds who share our mission of caring technology.
Our founder cares deeply
Our founder and CEO Brie Code is passionate about personal transformation and community care. Brie combines 20 years of experience with systems thinking, systems design and AI architecture in the interactive space (Child of Light, Assassin’s Creed) with personal experience with marginalization and post-traumatic growth. After introducing the implications of tend-and-befriend to the video game industry in 2017, Brie rose as a global thought leader on the connections between team diversity, new forms of play and emotion AI. They've been called “a one-of-a-kind visionary, a sought-after changemaker, and an ambitious leader with an exhilarating passion for healing.”
