Adah Parris

Futurist, Systems Thinker, Storyteller and Artist. 

Chair of Mental Health First Aid England (MHFA UK).

Currently Artist in Residence at The Design Science Studio (Buckminster Fuller Institute) and The University of California Irvine. 

An enthusiastic curator of people, patterns and stories.

In 2020, I was long-listed as one of the Most Influential Women in UK Technology.  In 2019, I was recognised as one of TED Talks Global Emerging Innovators. In 2018, I was recognised as one of the UK’s Top 100 Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Leaders in Technology. 

I take a philosophical and anthropological approach to technology; merging logic and creativity to design immersive problem solving, learning and development environments.

My current interest lies in the anatomy of transformation and innovation, from ancient wisdom, natural systems and indigenous community practices to digital and emerging technologies.
