We build worlds where curiosity leads the way

Who we are and why we make what we make

Imaginova is a small team of storytellers, illustrators and developers who believe play and learning belong together. We craft interactive adventures that invite kids and families to explore, decide and create — not just watch.

Our work sits at the crossroads of education and entertainment. Every story we ship is designed to spark questions, reward imagination and give young minds a safe, friendly space to experiment. We make tools for curious people, from preschoolers to grandparents who still love a good tale.

  • We create branching narratives that teach problem-solving and empathy
  • We design playful, colorful interfaces that feel like a game, not a lesson
  • We keep our content free of violence, fear and gimmicks — just honest fun
  • We listen to families and educators to shape every new adventure

The crew behind the adventures

We are a small team of storytellers, illustrators and game designers who build playful worlds for curious minds. Every project starts with a question: what would make a child lean closer to the screen and ask for one more chapter?

Creative Director

Oliver Stanton

Oliver spent a decade writing for children's television before joining us. He shapes the narrative arc of every adventure, making sure each story has a clear beginning, a tricky middle and a satisfying ending that leaves room for imagination.

 Lead Illustrator

Lori Schmitt

Lori turns rough sketches into the bright orange and ocean-blue worlds you see on screen. She has a background in animation and a soft spot for characters with big eyes and even bigger dreams.

 Game Designer

Deron Heller

Deron builds the interactive puzzles and branching paths that let readers steer the story. He tests every scene with real kids, then tweaks the difficulty until it feels like play, not homework.

 Education Lead

Mandy Dicki

Mandy is a former primary school teacher who checks that our content sparks curiosity without losing sight of learning goals. She writes the activity guides that parents and educators use alongside the stories.

 Audio & Music

Monty Hegmann

Monty composes the gentle background scores and playful sound effects that bring each scene to life. He believes sound is half the story, and his melodies stay with you long after the screen goes dark.
