There's a small cottage in East Sussex called Monk's House. Virginia Woolf lived and wrote there for over two decades. It wasn't grand or impressive. It was quiet, deliberate, and entirely hers. When the name came together, it felt less like invention and more like recognition.
The monk half came from friends and family, half as a joke, half as an observation. They noticed the minimalism before I had a word for it — the subtracting, the quieting down, the general suspicion of noise. It stuck.
I'm Minrey — a designer who codes, based in Taipei. I spent several years living and working in the UK, which is where my taste was quietly shaped: the literature, the restraint, the particular way the British approach things without making a fuss about it. Some things stay with you.
The work sits at the edge of visual design and frontend engineering. I care about what gets removed as much as what gets built. Probably more.
When I'm not working, I lift weights, take long walks, and occasionally make photographs that I'm genuinely proud of.
These aren't hobbies bolted onto a professional bio. They're part of the same practice — attention, patience, the willingness to wait for the right moment.
If something here resonates, I'd like to hear from you.
