About Memolio

Who makes this, and what it is.

Hugh Eggar, founder of Memolio — Hugh Eggar, Innsbruck

I am Hugh Eggar. I build Memolio on my own from Innsbruck, Austria.

Memolio turns a real life into an illustrated hardcover book. You answer questions about the person and share a few photos, and their story comes back written and painted in watercolour, page by page. There are two books so far: one about a grandparent's life, and one about how a couple met and everything since. Not a template with a name dropped into it. Their actual life.

You see every page before anything is printed, and nothing goes to the printer until you say so.

No investors, no team, no board. One man and a cat for a coworker.

The company behind it is The Egg Consultancy GmbH in Innsbruck. The legal details are in the Impressum, and anything you send to hello@memolio.io reaches me, not a queue.
