[11] In 2005, Scott's designs were chosen to accessorize Oscar de la Renta's spring 2006 runway show.

[13] Because of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, she nearly had to close her company,[14] but she received an order from Nordstrom for some of their stores; this gave her exposure and allowed her to expand her business.

In 2014 Scott opened stores around the South and Midwest while ignoring the fashion elite in New York and Los Angeles.

Later, in 2016, she sold a minority stake in her company to the private equity firm Berkshire Partners at a valuation of $1 billion.

In addition to an e-commerce business, Scott's merchandise is sold in London's Selfridges,[23] Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus,[18] Von Maur, Bloomingdale's, and over 1,000 specialty boutiques worldwide.

[2] Scott invests in companies in Austin, Texas, such as Helm Boots, Darbie Angell dinnerware,[14] and Tiff's Treats.

[27][28] In 2015, Scott launched the Kendra Cares Program,[29][27] which brings the company's customizable Color Bar[16] jewelry experience to pediatric hospitals across the country.

[25][41] In April 2020, Governor Greg Abbott named Scott to the Strike Force to Open Texas – a group "tasked with finding safe and effective ways to slowly reopen the state" amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
