As part of my role at Kido, I engaged in several community activities, including Design Ops Israel initiative and an FoF meetup presentation.

The community about product design, design systems, learning, collaboration, and growth in Israeli design ecosystem. A great initiative started at Kido by Ido Zaifman, Karen Segev and Dina Neiman, all of whom I was lucky to work with for 4 whole years.


In one of the Design Ops Talks episode, Eti Leifer Sharvit and I talk with Kido Co-Founder Ido Zaifman about how design systems and DesignOps are deeply connected, positioning the design system as a core organizational infrastructure rather than just a UI library. It highlights how DesignOps enables governance, adoption, and scalability, ensuring design systems actually support efficient, consistent work across teams.

The official Friends of Figma Israel group was created by Ido Zaifman to support deep discussions around Figma and design tooling. As part of the global Friends of Figma community, it focuses on sharing knowledge about design, product workflows, training, and mutual support.


At a FoF meetup in 2023, I presented the then-new Figma variables feature and demonstrated its practical application for managing design systems at scale.
