Stagetime is the professional network for the performing arts - a single hub where artists, agents, artistic administrators and companies build multimedia profiles, connect with 18,000+ industry peers, post opportunities, and manage auditions and applications end to end. Founded by opera singer and designer Jennie Moser after she grew tired of stitching together websites, PDFs and social feeds to chase gigs, the Bloomington, Indiana company replaces the field's scattered tools with one accessible community for showcasing talent and finding work.

Rauno Freiberg is an Estonian Staff Design Engineer at Vercel who blurs the line between design and engineering with surgical precision. Known for his obsession with invisible details - the micro-interactions, animations, and tactile feedback that make software feel alive - he built cmdk (downloaded millions of times weekly), wrote the seminal 'Invisible Details of Interaction Design' essay, and created Devouring Details, an interactive design education platform. He previously shaped the Arc browser at The Browser Company. His philosophy: code is the material, and mastery of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is the only honest path to great interfaces.
