Founder, chief creative officer, best-selling author, and philanthropist, Kendra Scott launched her company shortly after becoming a mother, beginning with limited resources and a portable collection sold directly to retailers. Through innovation, quality, customer service, and design, the startup grew into a billion-dollar lifestyle brand. The company employs thousands, operates over one hundred standalone stores, and is recognized for vibrant color and signature shapes. Offerings include fashion, demi-fine and fine jewelry, watches, engagement rings, home accessories, a men’s collection, and a western-inspired line.
As the brand expanded, Kendra Scott remained committed to the founding philosophy of Family, Fashion, and Philanthropy. The company has donated more than seventy million dollars to causes supporting women and youth. Kendra founded an entrepreneurial leadership institute at a major public university to empower women. She serves as an investor on a business series and continues leading the company as Executive Chairwoman and Chief Creative Officer.
