# Design Sync Notes — Financial Utesk Project Status

Notes from the [[wiki/meetings/2025-11-17-design-team-sync|Design Team Sync — 2025-11-17]] covering current status, blockers, and immediate next steps for the Financial Utesk project.

## Status at Time of Meeting

The project was sitting in **Internal Review** status at the time of the sync. Michał had already delivered most page designs to developer Jeff via a shared Figma file, and Jeff had begun building out pages. However, one page remained incomplete on the design side, and the client had been largely unresponsive to outreach.

## Blocker: Unresponsive Client

The primary project blocker is the client's lack of responsiveness. Melissa noted she has been reaching out approximately once a week — requesting meetings and feedback — with little to no reply. This has stalled the feedback loop and prevented the project from moving into a formal client review phase.

> "I have continually emailed this dude… I continually send him notes being like, can we meet?"
> — Melissa Cusumano

Melissa indicated she may hand client relationship management for this project to Karly, who has an existing relationship with the client and may be better positioned to get a response.

## Design Gap: About Us Page

The **About Us** page was identified as the one remaining incomplete design. It is specified on the Miro board but was absent from Karly's mockup set, creating some ambiguity about whether the client still wants it. The team's decision was to build it regardless — consistent with the project scope as originally defined — and let the client weigh in during review.

Michał noted the page was approximately half complete at the time of the meeting.

## Action Items

| Owner | Action | Due |
|-------|--------|-----|
| Michał | Complete the About Us page design | ASAP |
| Michał | Deliver all remaining designs to Jeff | Within 1–2 days of 2025-11-17 |
| Melissa | Consider transferring client relationship management to Karly | Ongoing |

## Context & Related

- Developer: **Jeff** (building out the site from Figma assets)
- Design reference: Miro board (site map / page list) and Karly's mockup set
- The About Us page is in the Miro board scope but was missing from the mockup deliverable — Michał to design and deliver to Jeff regardless
- Once all designs are with Jeff, the goal is to present the client with a reviewable build and force a feedback response
