Designing clarity for live meetings
As the first designer, I rebuilt Infange from a bare-bones tool into a calendar + live agenda workspace that keeps teams aligned before, during, and after meetings.

At a glance
- What it is. A meeting workspace: a calendar, plus live agendas that keep meetings on track.
- Who it’s for. Teams who leave meetings unsure what was decided.
- My part. First and only designer, reporting to the CEO, from research to handoff.
- Result. It became the default for every internal meeting.
Where meetings break

Most meeting problems show up after the meeting, when people leave with different ideas of what was decided. Infange only captured information. It didn’t guide anyone before, during or after.
“The intent for Infange is to allow us to maintain good conversation.” — CEO
Bare-bones start

Functional, but bare-bones: weak hierarchy, inconsistent spacing, and no sense of progress during a meeting. Active and completed items looked exactly the same.
Before the meeting
The first question in any meeting tool is “what’s happening today?”, so the calendar answers it in seconds.
- Today at a glance. Today’s summary sits above the fold.
- Out of the way. The sidebar collapses to icons.
- Three ways to create. A Meeting, Note, or Objective, or Command+K.


During the meeting
Once a meeting starts, everyone follows one shared agenda, because shared focus keeps a meeting from drifting.
- Progress is obvious. The active item is highlighted, and finished ones collapse.
- Complete is always there. Fixed to the bottom.


Every number, please

This screen is where the CEO and I disagreed. He wanted every number on screen. I wanted people to find the one being discussed, instantly. The white space stayed! After that, I wrote down the why behind every call.


After the meeting
When a meeting ends, it’s filed under Previous meetings. The next meeting on the same topic finds it automatically, so the context is one tap away.

Results
It became the default for every internal meeting. I’d set targets before designing, like meetings 25% faster, but they were never measured, so I won’t claim them. I also left a design system, and a way of deciding without a designer in the room.
What I learned
The best thing that happened to me as a designer was a stakeholder who wouldn’t accept “it looks better.” Writing down the rationale before a crit became my default, and it has made every review since easier.
