Hello! My name is Stella Striegel, and I’ve recently joined the Adafruit team as Communications Manager. I’ve been following the maker community for years, so I’m excited to be joining a DIY-driven company.
I’m joining Adafruit just as my two kids are beginning to explore electronics and programming, and hacking with Adafruit kits is one of the fun things we’re able to do as a family. The kids tell me that I’ve got a pretty cool job, and of course I’m in complete agreement.
My family and I moved to New York from the midwest almost three years ago. I still consider ourselves newbies to the city, so when we go exploring, I like to bring a camera along. Here’s one of my recent favorites I took at the Delancey Street station.
I’ll mostly be working behind the scenes over here at Adafruit, but I will be posting on our blog from time to time. See you on the site!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
