Our story

All the photo albums were daggy. So I made one that wasn’t.

Hi, I’m Hanna. Press play and I’ll tell you how MEMS began.

Hanna, founder of MEMS, carrying a FAMILY album

A nana at heart, with a camera roll like everyone else’s

I grew up in a busy house of four kids, and our family history lived in drawers and drawers of albums. Passing them around the living room is one of my favourite memories.

I’ve always loved anything in physical form: cards, postcards, handwritten letters. So after a big backpacking trip, I did what I always do. I printed my photos.

Then I went looking for somewhere beautiful to keep them, and couldn’t find it. Everything was either the daggy album from the garage or a digital photo book. I wanted the nostalgia of the albums we grew up with, without the daggy album. So I made it.

“A photo captures a moment in time. There isn’t anything quite like having that moment in your hands to look back on.”

Hanna, founder
