The Syrena was a Polish automobile model first exhibited at the Poznań Trade Fair in 1955 and manufactured from 1957 to 1972 by the Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych in Warsaw and from 1972 to 1983 by Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych in Bielsko-Biała. 177,234 were manufactured by FSO and 344,077 by FSM, a total of 521,311. During its remarkably long production run it underwent only minor modifications; the Syrena was produced in various models: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, while the most popular model was the 105. All were two-door sedans with two-stroke engines of two cylinders. In 1965 the Syrena received a larger three-cylinder engine. From 1968 a prototype model named. A van called Syrena Bosto and a pick-up R20 were produced. A coupé Syrena Sport and a hatchback Syrena 110 remained prototypes only. A Siren is a mermaid who, according to the legend, protects the river Wisła and the Polish capital city, Warsaw, she is featured on the city's coat of arms. A diminutive name Syrenka is used for the car in Poland.
At first, Polish engineers wanted Syrena to have a 4-stroke air-cooled engine and a self-supporting chassis. But due to a lack of deep-drawn metal parts and cost reductions, the first Syrena 100 cars were supposed to have a wooden bodywork covered with leather-like material; the cars were powered by 2-stroke engines designed by engineer Fryderyk Bluemke. The first two prototypes of Syrena were made in December 1953. One – with a wooden framework, was constructed by Stanislaw Panczakiewicz, while the second, steel-bodied car was made by Stanislaw Lukaszewicz, they met halfway by combining the first car's design with the steel bodywork of the second one. By March 1955 FSO had built 5 prototypes of Syrena 100. In September all of the prototypes took part in an experimental rally covering a distance of 5600 km. One of the cars, driven by Karol Pionnier, revealing the weak structure of the roof; as a result, the engineers decided to use steel instead of wood for this part of the car. One of the prototypes was exhibited at the Poznań Trade Fair in autumn 1955.
On 20 March 1957 the mass production of Syrena 100 started. Syrena 100 was designed by engineers Stanislaw Lukasiewicz, Stanislaw Panczakiewicz and Fryderyk Bluemke, it was introduced to the public in June 1955 at the XXIV Poznań Trade Fair. The car aroused a lot of interest. At first, the production rate was to be 10 thousand cars a year; because of financial reasons, Syrena 100 and the much larger Warszawa automobile shared many parts. As a result, Syrena was much heavier than intended. In 1960 Syrena underwent a minor modernisation; the improved car had a different type of carburetor. It received new twin windscreen wipers and a better suspension; the Syrena 102, produced in 1962 and 1963, had different body details. The "S" version of this model shared an engine with Wartburg 312. Around 150 examples of Syrena 102S were produced. Syrena 103 had a different engine; the next model lasted from 1966 to 1972. It had a synchronized gearbox and restyled tail lights; the 105 was the last Syrena design. It was badged accordingly.
Unlike its predecessors it had regular front doors instead of "suicide" ones. The "Lux" version, produced from 1974, had the gear handbrake between the front seats; the 105 served as a basis for two other models – Syrena R-20, a pick-up and a van – Bosto. A 1983 FSM Syrena 105L finished in yellow was featured in series 10 episode 10 of the British television program Wheeler Dealers. Presenter Mike Brewer purchased the car in Poland for zł7,000 and drove it back to the show's UK-based workshop where it underwent repairs and upgrades by mechanic Edd China; the colour was changed to white in homage to the Polish flag. Other work included upgrades to the steering box, refurbishing the drum brakes, replacing the dynamo with an alternator and replacing the radio; the total cost of procuring and upgrading the car reached £5454. The completed car was driven to the Polish embassy where ambassador Witold Sobków took a ride with them; the car was sold for £8,000 to the bubble car museum in Lincolnshire. In 1960 a prototype Syrena Sport was produced with a fibreglass body and a four-stroke two-cylinder engine.
However this model was not put into production. List of Eastern European cars Syrena club History of Warsaw's "Syrena" emblem Prototypes and Mass Production Polish Cars

She co-founded the Inclusive Fashion and Design Collective with the US disability advocate Liz Jackson in order to "challenge designers who traditionally haven’t been thinking diversely, to work with people with disabilities, find beautiful solutions to these problems.
Aesthetics are so important, but if you look at products designed for the disabled community, they’re quite ugly." Jackson and Burke were invited to attend the White House for an event titled'Design for all' where the Obama administration highlighted the intersection of fashion and disability. Burke campaigns to highlight the importance of inclusive design in all areas of life due to the practical challenges she faces in living and moving in a world, not designed for people with disabilities.
