📅 Date: Thursday, January 29th ⏰ Time: 17:00 – 19:00 CEST 📍 Location: Online 🎤 Host: Mårten Angner, founder of WDS
Whiteport Design Studio (WDS) is an end-to-end, AI-agent–driven design workflow where your design brilliance become the new code. Instead of wrestling fragile, one-off prompts or jumping straight into building, you shape clear intent, structure, and decisions into reusable product artifacts.
Our design files, sketches and concepts, will guide AI and human developers with precision, keep the project coherent when things change, and let designers stay in their strongest lane: making meaning, defining outcomes, and designing systems people actually want.
For designers everywhere, this matters because it turns “AI output” into a repeatable process. You get faster clarity, less rework, cleaner handoffs, and a way to ship without pretending you’re suddenly a full-time developer.However, This is a challenge for us designers!
This new world of AI is not particularly friendly to designers. AI lives where the code lives and we designers all have to make a great effort to expand and grow out of our visual comfort zone and become a little bit tech savvy. We know it is hard to grow, but don´t you worry. Whiteport has your back! Come online and we will help you get started just fine!
😅 WDS Session 3: From “White Panic” to First Commit
Session 3 is where we connect, install, and get started with the WDS agents for real. This is the session for every designer who’s ever opened a code editor and felt that familiar blank-page dread. Not because you’re “bad at code”. But because designers are used to making meaning, not wrestling tools.

So we’ll do the unglamorous part together. The setup. The technical threshold. The first steps. And we’ll do it in a room where nobody is trying to prove how “technical” they are.
✅ The payoff, Nothing less than mindblowing. What WDS will give you
-
A designer-first bridge into AI delivery: you stay focused on intent, structure, and user value while AI helps with implementation.
-
Less rework when things change: update the spec, not a pile of fragile generated code.
-
Clearer handoffs: your artifacts become a shared language between design, product, and dev.
-
Faster decisions: the process forces clarity early, so you stop guessing later.
-
Reusable patterns: turn your best thinking into templates you can use again and again.
-
More confidence in “technical” spaces: IDE, repos, and Git stop being scary and start being tools you can use.
-
Stronger product outcomes: because strategy and structure are baked in before anyone hits “build.”
➡️ What we’ll do together
-
Connect and prepare your environment for Whiteport Design Studio
-
Get the WDS agents running (the practical, real-world “hello world”)
-
Understand the moving parts: IDE, repo, version control, workflow
-
Make it feel… normal. Like just another design tool you haven’t met yet
Please come prepared with
-
Your GitHub username
-
An installed IDE: Cursor or Windsurf
Don’t be scared. You are among friends. No one in this call “loves code”. We love design. We’re just stretching a little, so we can design and ship awesome software with AI.

What is WDS, and why does it matter?
A quick recap of Sessions 1 & 2
In Session 1 we explored the shift that happens when you’re forced to explain your ideas, component by component, decision by decision. That’s where clarity appears. And when your product is generated from a clear specification, change becomes simple: you adjust the intent, reshuffle decisions, and regenerate.
In Session 2 we talked strategy, and why speed without thinking is just expensive wandering. We also touched on a very real detail: WDS lives in the same world as developers do, inside an IDE like Cursor or Windsurf, with Git as the backbone.
