About ImaginMe
ImaginMe was a children's digital storytelling venture built around personalized animated stories. Founded in 2014, it combined interactive reading with 3D character creation, allowing children to appear as the central characters in stories intended to encourage creativity, confidence and positive social values.
The product's defining feature was a character generation engine through which parents and children could customize an avatar's facial features, hair, eye shape and clothing. That personalized character would then become the hero or heroine of an original animated story. The approach connected character customization with storytelling, making the child's likeness part of the narrative rather than a separate profile image.
Personalized stories and learning
ImaginMe's work brought together mobile app development, digital content creation and children's interactive publishing. Its educational focus included social and emotional themes, with stories designed to explore empowerment and help children see themselves as active participants in imaginative situations.
The announced launch story, HE-RO! HER-O!, addressed gender equality and childhood empowerment. It reflected the venture's broader interest in using personalized storytelling to challenge stereotypes and support children's self-confidence.
Company history
The project emerged publicly in August 2014. Its Singapore corporate entity was incorporated in August 2016, following the venture's earlier development and public launch. These represent separate stages in the company's history.
ImaginMe subsequently ceased operating. Its corporate registration was struck off, development halted and its former official website became inactive. The venture is now closed.
