Kelly Vaughn
CEO & Founder
Developer, business owner, cat enthusiast, wannabe sommelier. Kelly is the secret sauce that keeps things running day in and evening out. As The Taproom’s founder, her days consist of countless client communications, business strategy sessions, and the occasional breath of fresh air when it comes time to scarf down some midday Chick-fil-A. Always a developer at heart, you may also occasionally find her developing your custom Shopify theme. Luckily, at the end of the day, what this means for you is that she’s going to make sure your online store is a lean, mean sales machine.
When she doesn’t have her nose in a Macbook, Kelly is traveling across Europe with her 9.8/10 husband, experimenting with new gin and tonic combos, and putting on all her sweaters at once because she just loves sweaters SO MUCH.
