Custom pet brick keepsakes

Memento Bricks

Send a favorite pet photo for a human-reviewed fit check. If the likeness can be made buildable, we turn it into a custom brick keepsake with instructions and a sourceable parts list.

First launch

Starting with pets, because people already know who they want to build.

The first release focuses on small pet keepsakes: dogs, cats, and beloved companions as desk-sized brick models. Early requests are reviewed by hand, then shaped into a fit check response and optional Designer Review workflow.

How it works

From photo to buildable keepsake.

01

Upload a favorite photo

Share the pet photo, name, colors, and tiny details that make the model feel personal.

02

We run a fit check

We check whether the pet's key features can survive simplification into a small brick model.

03

Designer Review makes it real

Only promising requests move into paid likeness, stability, sourcing, and instruction review.

After you submit

A real preview, not a black box.

Memento Bricks is starting as a small studio workflow. That means early pet builds get human attention before we automate more of the design process.

Today

Photo received privately

Your pet photo is stored in private project storage and reviewed by the studio.

24-48 hours

Fit check response

We reply with whether the request looks suitable for a Mini Kit, Designer Review, or a later custom build.

Then

Paid review decision

If the fit check passes and you want to continue, Designer Review turns the direction into a sourceable build plan.

Designer Review

The human pass that makes the preview real.

A nice render is not enough. Designer Review is where we check whether the model actually resembles your pet, can be built, can be sourced, and can be followed from instructions.

01

Likeness pass

We identify the features that must survive simplification: body shape, ears, coat, face, and pose.

02

Buildability pass

The model is constrained for stability, display use, and a realistic customer build.

03

Sourcing pass

We check parts availability and compare landed cost, not only individual part price.

04

Instruction pass

The final direction is prepared for diagram-based PDF instructions rather than text-only notes.

Quality promise

No paid kit leaves as a guess.

A custom pet build has to earn trust before it earns money. We separate early visual ideas from customer-ready deliverables so people know exactly what stage their request is in.

Fit check before paid delivery

If the pet cannot be made recognisable at the chosen size, we say so before selling a final kit.

Human review on custom models

Designer Review checks likeness, buildability, parts availability, and instruction clarity.

Sourceable parts, not fantasy parts

Parts lists are checked against practical BrickLink availability and likely landed cost.

One revision direction

Paid Designer Review should include one focused likeness revision before final files are prepared.

What you get

A keepsake people can picture before they buy.

Each early design starts with a preview and is intended to become a clear, buildable mini model rather than a one-off AI image. The goal is a result customers can inspect, share, and eventually gift.

Real preview tests

Daisy and Rosie are our first proof points.

These previews are not final Digital Mini Kits. They are the first visual direction that helps decide whether a customer wants Designer Review, instructions, or a gift-box kit.

First formats

Small enough to finish, personal enough to keep.

Start with a fit check, then choose whether you want Designer Review, a simplified Digital Mini Kit, or a future physical gift-box kit.

Digital Mini Kits are intentionally constrained for stability, piece count, and clear instructions. More ambitious ideas may need Designer Review.

We will use your pose and scene choices for the fit check. If an idea is too complex for a stable Digital Mini Kit, we may suggest Designer Review or decline the build.
