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.
We run a fit check
We check whether the pet's key features can survive simplification into a small brick model.
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.
Photo received privately
Your pet photo is stored in private project storage and reviewed by the studio.
Fit check response
We reply with whether the request looks suitable for a Mini Kit, Designer Review, or a later custom build.
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.
Likeness pass
We identify the features that must survive simplification: body shape, ears, coat, face, and pose.
Buildability pass
The model is constrained for stability, display use, and a realistic customer build.
Sourcing pass
We check parts availability and compare landed cost, not only individual part price.
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.
Daisy
First preview direction: white curly coat, tan ears, pink collar, desk-display pose.
Rosie
Memorial-style preview direction: warm tan palette, gentle expression, keepsake base.
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.
