Brainfruit is an independent creative studio with a full spectrum of interests and a singular focus on entertainment. Founded in 2025 by veterans of late-night TV writers' rooms and powerhouse software companies, we channel high-production, big-audience muscle into work that is playful, tactile, and pointed. We want you to have fun and feel something, because we believe those are the two major components of a memorable experience. We also work on several projects at once… partially to reach people in every corner of our fragmented media landscape, but also it’s just how our heads work. Last year, we released Starfriends, our 5-star card game about what everyone else thinks. Our upcoming projects are the soon-to-be-released MOSS Studio (a magical sketchpad for iPhone and iPad) and a soon-to-be-announced comedy game for Steam.

Garrett Miller has spent three decades creating art, games, and software with computers. He has been an engineering, product, and design leader through the unicorn eras of Opower, Mapbox, Slack, and Figma.

okay, jen time!
Jen Dennard is a business operations expert who is equally comfortable at an indie creative studio or a venture-backed startup. She cofounded Range (a teamwork platform for remote-first companies), led people operations at Medium, and has a knack for embedding with teams during their most fragile early stages to untangle big knots and flatten speed bumps. She did that for Brainfruit and now she’s a partner in the studio.
