About

My name is Whitman Schorn

I was born in Austin in 1991.

I graduated Oberlin College in 2013, majoring in Computer Science and Creative Writing. I then moved to New York City for the next 8 years. I currently divide my time between Austin and Brooklyn.

I enjoy writing, technology, and the intersection of the two.

Some of my favorite things to make include dishes with fish, bread, and anything Italian. For most meals, I will collect a handful of recipes online, consult the better cooks in my life, and improvise based on what I have in hand. I have a handful of recipes that are these rough sketches, and a few more precise instruction sets, since I find baking to be less... forgiving. Some of my recipes: Whitman's Tiramisu Whitman's Focaccia The Meal Whitman's Banana Bread, or just generally peruse.
