Fried's spontaneous decision to start Adafruit resulted in a multimillion-dollar business that inspires creativity through innovative electronic kits, transcending her initial boredom in college.
I was in between things, and I wanted freedom, Fried said. So I thought, I'll just try this. I'll make more kits and see where it goes. There was no plan.
Engineering has always been about the magical moment when the pieces come together to create something worth treasuring, reflecting Fried's passion for DIY electronics.
The first thing I built was a little handheld player, kind of like a Game Boy, but a DIY version, and I was surprised, I was like, Wow, I can't believe that actually worked!
