“Collaborating with Adah on Earth Echoes has been a wonderful shared journey of exploration. I look forward to our calls as a highlight of my week. Through our work together, I have seen her unique ability to support people to feel safe enough to open up to their own ancient wisdom and to connect with nature. She is endlessly creative and it is a joy to work with her to bring her ideas into being.”

Adah Parris is a visionary in experience design, pushing boundaries and redefining our perception of value and impact. Through her immersive experiences, she creates transformative catalysts that inspire us to "think differently" and unlock new possibilities for personal growth, innovation, and societal change. As a leader in the mental health space, Adah brings authenticity to her work, enabling her to navigate the complexities of the mind and translate them into transformative experiences.
As a neurodivergent individual with ADHD and borderline Autism, Adah possesses a beautiful set of cognitive abilities and insights that shape her distinctive approach to experience design. Her neurodivergent perspective serves as a gateway, opening doors to new possibilities and challenging conventional norms. It is through this lens that she invites others to embark on transformative journeys, experiencing the world in ways they may not have previously considered. Adah is able to see connections, patterns, and possibilities that may go unnoticed by others. By celebrating and harnessing neurodiversity, Adah encourages a more inclusive and expansive approach to creativity and innovation.
Through her work, Adah fosters a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between ecology, technology, innovation, and human experiences. Blending creativity, empathy, and a deep understanding of technology to craft immersive encounters that transcend traditional boundaries. She creates immersive experiences that engage the senses, challenge assumptions, and provoke introspection.
“Friends of the Earth’s collaboration with Adah on Earth Echoes has been fascinating and very worthwhile. All our nature work tells us that people won’t care for nature if they can’t see it or feel comfortable in it. Adah’s soundscapes and wisdom walks show that there’s enchantment and new ways of seeing round every corner of our increasingly built-over environment and are a wonderfully creative way of engaging people.”

By delving into the intricate web of relationships formed by technology, Adah unveils its true essence as a relational ecology. She recognises that every interaction, every connection, forms a complex tapestry that shapes our experiences and influences our understanding of the world. They challenge us to question our assumptions, reconsider our values, and explore untapped potentials within ourselves. Her work invites us to confront our fears, embrace our vulnerabilities, challenge the status quo and step into a realm of infinite possibilities.
