Rivers & Caves is a family-run, design-driven studio based in Tampa, Florida. What began as a fun side project, creating personalized stirrers for our own home bar, quickly took on a life of its own. First, friends asked for them. Then, their friends did too. Before long, our custom drink stirrers became the finishing touch for weddings, events, and personal bars across the country.

Laura and George are the duo behind the brand. Together, they bring decades of shared experience in life and design. George leads the creative vision with more than 30 years in design. His work spans physical products, digital tools, and handcrafted builds. Meanwhile, Laura brings the structure behind the creativity. As the project manager, she refines ideas, manages production, and ensures every detail meets a high standard before it reaches a customer.

Long before Rivers & Caves existed, designing and building together was already part of daily life. For years, their home has been a canvas for creative projects. They built custom picture frames, furniture, and even full patio bars. During one of those projects, the signature drink stirrers were born. At first, they were simply a personal detail. However, that small detail quickly resonated with others. People were looking for meaningful ways to make gatherings feel more intentional.
