Burra is a product design studio founded by Helena, a product designer who has led design teams and shipped products across fintech, commercial and nonprofit work. That’s 10+ years where product, UX and business meet, and these days a lot of it is about AI.
We help teams figure out where AI actually helps (and where it’s just hype), then design features people trust. AI takes the busywork, people keep the decisions.
What sets Burra apart?
We teach this stuff, not just talk about it: 300+ people trained across 7 cities
Our founder facilitates Elements of AI for Business, lectures at Algebra and is NN/g UX certified
Features tested before they ship (not after)
Experience across fintech, NGOs, education, healthcare and social impact
We define workflows, guardrails and specs. We don’t build agents or ship production AI.

AI Team Workshop
Half a day to 4 weeks. Your team gets hands-on with AI and leaves with something worth trying on Monday.
AI Setup Sprint
1–2 weeks. The workshop got everyone excited; now let’s make it stick, with tools picked and workflows actually running.
Design System Loop
A bi-weekly, AI-assisted rhythm that keeps components and docs tidy. AI does the triage, people make the calls.
AI Feature Definition
Stuck between “cool idea” and “what do we build?” A PRD-lite, success metrics and a rollout plan in 1–2 weeks.
UX Audits
1–2 weeks. A usability and accessibility check that ends in fixes you can actually ship.
Framer Development
2–4 weeks from strategy to launch: a Framer site that says what you do, clearly.
We try the new tools so you don’t have to. Every AI workflow we recommend has been tested on real design work first, with clear review gates and a human signing off.
So if you want someone in your corner who’s up to date, honest about what AI can’t do, and easy to work with, let’s talk.
Less busywork, more actual design.
