Bridgette
Bridgette is a software engineer, open source enthusiast, statistics nerd, and collector of entirely too many personal projects. She enjoys building strange and occasionally useful things, usually accompanied by excessive amounts of coffee and at least one poorly timed existential crisis.
Her interests include data science, accessibility, astronomy, retro technology, and horror films of deeply questionable quality. At the 5% level of significance, Bridgette has determined that there is strong evidence to suggest that Carolyn Jones was the definitive Morticia Addams, F(5,24) = 14.91, p = 1.07 × 10-7.
Outside of technology, Bridgette is a mother of three and an active supporter of queer communities and open source software. She firmly believes that good technology should make people's lives better, or at the very least, less irritating.
Talia
Talia is a deeply creative 11-year-old with a flair for drawing and storytelling. Whether she's sketching original characters or crafting her own YouTube videos, she brings a quiet kind of magic to everything she touches—like a fairy with a pencil and a camera.
She adores Dandy's World and Sprunkies, but what she loves most is watching the videos her friends make. Though Talia is a naturally solitary soul who finds comfort in her own world, she also treasures her school friendships—especially with Ivy and Brooklyn, who bring extra spark and laughter into her days.
She is a non-verbal communicator, on the autistic spectrum, and she lives a bright, beautiful life that's full of imagination, cheekiness, and strength. While it makes her life difficult, her autism is not something to overcome, but something that shapes her unique and joyful way of moving through the world.
She dreams of becoming a mangaka, and with her powerful sense of story and unshakable creative vision, that dream feels entirely within reach. Add in her love for grilled cheese sandwiches and a sharp sense of humor, and you have someone truly unforgettable: a vibrant, expressive, and deeply loved young artist.
Alex
Alex is an energetic and curious 8-year-old with a love for space, physics, and just about anything that sparks his imagination. Whether he's jumping on the trampoline, exploring Roblox, or diving into Gorilla Tag, he brings humor and heart to everything he does. A dedicated fan of Kurzgesagt — In a Nutshell and Astrum Sleep Space, Alex blends his passion for science with a deep fascination for the cosmos—and he's always ready to share a new fact he's picked up from YouTube Shorts.
Known for his empathy and sharp wit, Alex is the kind of kid who can make you laugh and then ask a surprisingly thoughtful question about black holes. He's a mix of introvert and extrovert, equally happy stargazing quietly through his telescope or goofing around with his family—especially his youngest sister, Contessa (when they're not bickering).
When he's not dreaming of becoming an astronaut, firefighter, or EMT, Alex earns his "good-boy bonus" by being exceptionally responsible with his chores. If he had a superpower, it would be phasing through walls—much to the concern of those around him.
Fueled by Nutella pancakes and a parrot's sense of fun, Alex is full of wonder, kindness, and a joyful spark that makes him truly one of a kind.
Contessa
Contessa is a bright and spirited five-year-old who loves nothing more than spending time with her mumma and big brother. Whether they're playing games together or bouncing on the bed, she brings boundless energy and a giggle that could melt anyone's heart.
She's completely smitten with her Sprunkies—especially Pinky and Wenda, her two favorites. Her days are full of laughter, especially when mumma sneaks in a tickle or two. And when night falls? That's when the great mandarin heist begins—Contessa is known for quietly sneaking them like a tiny citrus bandit.
With a big imagination, a mischievous streak, and a heart full of love, Contessa is a joyful little whirlwind who lights up every room she enters.
