My name is Will Allstetter.



I'm a writer, artist, and software engineer based in NYC.


I work as the resident creative technologist at the School of Visual Arts' department of Interaction Design and write/edit for Dwell, an architecture and design magazine. In 2023, I earned a bachelor's degree in English and computer science from Brown University.


I founded and run a design studio called Absent Rook Hypermedia.



I coded and designed this website, as I do with most of my projects.
