Imaa Minifax

Imaa — Based in New Jersey — I build things for the web and write about what I learn.

Hey — I’m Imaa, based in New Jersey. Right now I’m an Assistant Manager at Dollar Tree and a cashier at The Halal Guys — and in the hours around those shifts, I build things for the web: animation-rich sites, small tools, and the occasional experiment that exists mostly because I wanted to see if it would work.

I care a lot about how things feel — the difference between something that merely functions and something that’s a small pleasure to use. A lot of that comes down to motion, typography, and restraint.

I’m honestly not certain where my career is headed yet, and I’ve made peace with that. This site is partly a portfolio, partly a notebook, and partly a place to think out loud while I figure it out.

When I’m not working or building, I’m usually reading, recording, or shooting something — most of which ends up somewhere on this page.

    I built a minifax machine that prints messages sent to me in my room without needing a dedicated phone or mobile number.

podcast Interact with your world

It is easy to get stuck in a monotonous routine. We live through life without interacting with our world. We live a monotonous routine day after day, month after month, year after year. We will be better off if we realized: the world is not happening to us, we are happening to the world. So we should poke holes in our realities, question our beliefs, compliment strangers, do things outside our routines and most importantly, interact with our world.
