About Our Founder
In 2002, just three months after her first son was born, Kendra launched her eponymous jewelry line with only $500. Her vibrant personality and unique eye for design captivated Austin businesses and customers alike, paving the way for a billion-dollar lifestyle brand that’s celebrated for its design and material innovation, vibrant use of color, and signature silhouettes. Her company continues to operate out of Austin, Texas, where she resides with her family and many beloved animals.
Notable Accolades

In 2023, Kendra furthered her commitment to philanthropy by launching the Kendra Scott Foundation within the Kendra Scott business to empower women and youth in the areas of health and wellness, education, and entrepreneurship.
