Lital Tal / UX Designer at Wix.com
Creativity is often thought to be a process of creating something out of nothing, but the term hides a much deeper truth…There is no ‘nothing’.
We always build on existing blocks. Creativity, or being ‘creative’ is an evolving system and evolution is very much a process of iteration, creating something from previous ‘somethings’.
In this session, Lital will explore how understanding ‘creativity’ from this point of view can help you understand your approach to design and designing with systems as a way to unblock your creativity self.
Lital is a designer with a passion for systems. For the last 5 years, she has been building products and digital experiences in various companies by setting them up for success with scalable, methodical design systems. At Wix, Lital is a UX designer on the Design System Team.

Noa Rotstein / UX Designer at DeviantArt
As designers, we have a lot of responsibility in creating products in a professional way. We need to have an efficient and coherent work process in order to be consistent. We need to stay creative while we follow rules. ​
In this session, Noa will talk about how using a design system within your product can not only save precious time and create a bridge between designers and developers, but also improve a product and maintain its creative look.
Noa joined Wix in January 2015 as a product designer for the ADI team. In the past year, she has transitioned towards UX design with an emphasis on system design. Noa is currently a UX designer on the DeviantArt Design System team.
