Learn about how Keystone Inspired Co. was created and who is behind the brand.
Britt McGaughan, Founder & CEO, Maker
Floridian at heart, Island dweller, former city girl, and aspiring mountain lover—Britt's journey has been anything but ordinary. Growing up in Tampa, Florida, she spent every possible moment on the water, fostering a deep love for nature that’s stayed with her throughout her life. After a few years in Key West, nearly a decade in Washington, DC, and finally settling in Colorado in 2019, Britt’s path has given her a deep sense of adventure.
Starting her career in law enforcement with a degree in criminology, Britt soon found her true passion in the creative world. Returning to school in NYC for graphic design, she embarked on a new journey in marketing and advertising.
This passion for a creative life eventually led to the creation of Keystone Inspired Co. Today, she lives in Denver, Colorado with her partner, Brady, and their rescue pup, Declan.
Keystone Inspired Co.
Was started in 2018 when Britt began making candles for fun and popped up at a DC store.
Humble Beginnings
We did our first marketing June of 2019, lost money, but loved the experience so much we signed up for another.
Becoming a Full-Time Business
Due to losing jobs during Covid-19, Britt began showing up to more markets and in 2021 she became a full-time entrepreneur.

Brady grew up in the Midwest loving the outdoors and spent many days outside exploring the ravine behind his home.
As he got older he became fascinated with ballet and eventually became a professional ballet dancer, which took him all over the US and the world.
His passion for the arts is anchored with a firm upbringing in the trades and working with his hands. These experiences helped fuel his passion for woodworking.
