who am i?

Hey there! I’m Seth Petrie, also known by my online pen name and alias, Avery White! Despite my age of 21 years old, I have a lot of history and experience within my given fields. I’ve been working in freelance web development and graphic design since I was in my early teenage years. From there, I ended launching myself into writing, and game development at the age of 15, followed by project management a year later.

I’ve always loved the process of creation, be it from the designing perspective, to the perspective of leading the team outright. I love the ebb and flow of design and the creative outlets that any work of these natures present, as well as the end result. The end result isn’t just the pretty image, or amazing game – it’s the communities and bonds that form around that piece of media, and the stories that are produced from it.

Notable Projects

Alyumia

  • I started the Alyumia project back in 2016; initially as a novel idea cenetered around a superpower based gameshow.
  • From there, it took off into multiple different platforms, ranging from short stories, to worldbuilding, to even games.
  • Alyumia has a videogame team, comic team, and Tabletop RPG team working on their respective projects getting ready for launches between Webtoon and Kickstarter.

Lead Project Manager / Designer / Writer

Pastel Puppy Studios

  • I designed the original website for their initial launch, working alongside the business owner to create their vision – a colorful and happy stationery shop website.
  • Following that up; I helped them with some product photos by using photos they took and turning them into professional looking mockup images for their listings.

    Web Developer / Photo Editor

Loftia

  • I managed and networked the Twitter & Reddit, as well as designed an ARG for detailed marketing tactics.
  • I designed, developed, and wrote the Loftia lore. This included designing a wiki for the community.
  • I managed and communicated directly with the community.
  • I had input on world design, community outreach, marketing plans, and more.
