Hi, I am
Yiqin Dai on paper, Quinn Dai in life, and phinoda online.
I'm a founder, a product designer, and a Fibonacci coffee drinker
A terrible way to consume coffee. When you’re hyper-focused on work, you keep adding fresh coffee to your stale, cold coffee, making sure that you never actually get to enjoy a completely fresh cup. Not a lifestyle I’d recommend.
