<p>
  Hi! I'm Yitong, a designer in San Francisco. I grew up in Montreal, Canada – a
  very cold place my family moved to when I was young. Immigration is a big part
  of my story. You can listen to me talk about it on
  <a href="https://designdetails.fm/episodes/1xROYMXj">Design Details</a>. I
  currently work on <a href="https://nounsagora.com/">Agora, a public protocol governance app</a> and
  <a href="https://vectordao.com/">Vector, coop-style agency</a>. Before that, I spent almost
  four years at Coinbase as a product designer.
</p>

<p>
  In my spare time, I work on a bunch of side projects like
  <a href="https://www.flowchart.design/">Autoflow</a>, a marketing page pattern
  library called <a href="http://goodweb.design/">Goodweb.design</a>, a
  collection of <a href="https://www.buildgpt3.com/">GPT3 prompts</a>, and this
  vegetable seasonality <a href="http://howfresh.co/">website</a>. Most of these
  could really use a bit of maintenance. Oh and I also tend to a beautiful
