The studio behind OurBricks and OurComic

We turn personal stories into things people keep.

OurBrands is a small studio from Ghent that builds personal-gift brands. Each one starts from a customer's own photo or story and ends as an object on a shelf or a wall.

How we work

Small team, short lines. AI makes the first draft; people do the details and the finishing touches.

Start from something real

Every product starts from the customer's own photo or story. No templates with a name swapped in.

AI for the draft, people for the details

Our own software builds a first design fast. Then our team works through it by hand: the details, the proportions and the finishing touches that make it your house or your story. Nothing is made until a person is happy with it.

Made to order

Nothing is made until the customer approves the design. No stock, no waste.

Built in Ghent

Product, software and brand are built in-house in Ghent, with a small remote team for design finishing, quality checks and support.

The founder

Robin Mortier

Founder · Ghent

I'm from Ghent. I studied computer science and then did a master's in business economics. For about two years I've been building online gift brands, and today I work on OurBrands full-time.

I started because at the moments that really mattered, I never found a gift that was personal enough. So I started making it myself.

I build the AI pipelines behind our brands myself: the software that turns one photo of a house into a 3D brick design, or a story into a comic. It makes the first draft fast. Then people on our team work through every design by hand, down to the details and the finishing touches, before anything is made.

I hope the things we make get a spot on a windowsill or a wall, and that one day someone points at one and says: “that's us.”

Where we're going

We want to build a small family of brands that each do one personal thing very well. Every new brand reuses what the last one taught us: the design pipeline, the quality checks, the suppliers. The empty tile in our logo is the next one.
