A Letter From Our Founder

SwivelServe began in 2019 on an ordinary taco night. Like many home cooks, I was juggling chopped peppers, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce on an overcrowded cutting board. Then came the hassle of transferring everything into bowls, which quickly took over my already small apartment kitchen. By the time dinner was ready, the counter looked like a disaster, and cleanup was even worse.

I kept thinking, There has to be a better way. But after searching for a solution and finding nothing, I realized I wasn’t the only one dealing with this mess. That’s when I decided to create SwivelServe.

With no design experience, just an idea and a lot of determination, I started sketching concepts and cutting prototypes from dollar-store foam board. For three years, I worked on SwivelServe while holding down a full-time job, slowly refining the design and saving up to bring it to life. Then in November 2022, I was laid off. Instead of seeing it as a setback, I took it as a sign to fully commit.

SwivelServe is the result of years of careful thought, testing, and intentional design. It is made to simplify meal prep, serving, and storage, especially for people with limited space or busy kitchens. It is compact, attractive, thoughtfully engineered, and built from quality materials. Whether you are cooking for yourself, hosting friends, bringing a dish to a party, or heading outdoors, SwivelServe is designed to make the process cleaner, easier, and more enjoyable.

But SwivelServe is just the beginning.

I founded Tegriware, short for Integrity in Houseware, because I believe products should be made with care, last a long time, and genuinely solve problems. Too many things today feel rushed or cheaply made. I want to change that by building a company that creates practical, beautiful, and durable products people can rely on for years.

I am grateful you are here for the start of this journey. I cannot wait to share what is coming next.
