ABOUT US
Vi Mai
vi_mai@worldasteria.com
Vi Mai was born in 2001 and grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he spent his early years surrounded by technology and stories, especially the kind found in fantasy and sci-fi books. That love for imagined worlds stayed with him, even as he pursued studies in engineering, business, and computer programming at the University of Houston, Texas. After two years studying, he made the difficult but deliberate decision to step away from school and follow what had always been his true passion: storytelling.
His career path since then has spanned multiple industries. He began by coaching for eSports organizations and training programs, while also taking on various side jobs to support his growth. Leveraging his experience in coaching, client acquisition, and lead generation, he transitioned into a sales and marketing role. Through it all, he never stopped writing, quietly building toward something bigger, one page at a time.
That journey eventually led to the founding of the Asteria Creative Group.
Adam Jaskuloski

Adam Jaskuloski was born in 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah. His love for storytelling began at age seven after reading The Lightning Thief, which led to a deep passion for fantasy through series like Fablehaven and Eragon. Though his interest in novels faded during his teenage years, story remained central to the media he consumed, especially in video games.
Originally pursuing computer programming at the University of Utah, Adam shifted paths during the pandemic, delving into his passion for theater. He studied directing, stagecraft, stage management, and play-writing, which broadened his creative skill set.
In college, longtime friend Vi Mai approached him with the idea of co-authoring a fantasy novel. Despite early hesitation, Adam joined the project, eventually taking the lead on expanding the world’s systems—developing its cultures, mythologies, and magic. After graduating in 2024, he committed full-time to the World of Asteria.
Outside of writing, Adam enjoys video games like Final Fantasy VII, anime such as One Piece, and playing piano when time allows.
