Kendra Scott started her company with only $500 in 2002, just three months after her first son was born. Going door-to-door to Austin boutiques armed only with a tea box full of her jewelry, Scott captivated businesses and customers with her vibrant personality and unique eye for design.

  • Born to Shine: Kendra Scott’s Journey to Doing Good, Finding Joy, and Building a Life She Loves

    By any measure, Kendra Scott is a woman who has it all: a self-made billionaire, a generous philanthropist, and a mother of three with a squad of strong female friendships.
