Our Story

 The Beginning of Ms. Scott Studios
 Ms. Scott Studios began with a dream—literally.

In 2021, Jakira Scott’s paternal grandmother—a wise, gracious woman with a God-given gift of vision—told her that God was calling her to pursue her art. Everything her grandmother had ever spoken had come to pass. Yet at the time, Jakira didn’t take it seriously. She didn’t even know what kind of art her grandmother meant. She was too busy chasing everything else—building businesses, studying graphic communications, acting in plays, even earning a cosmetology license. In her words: “Basically everything except what He told me to do.” She ran, like Jonah.

“The Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” —Amos 3:7

“But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish.” —Jonah 1:3

Like many artists, Jakira began to believe that art was a dead end. Still, she hustled hard, convincing herself: “If I just work enough…”—as if God needed her achievements, her funding, or her plans. Instead of fulfillment, this led to burnout, creative exhaustion, and distance from God. Eventually, she came to a breaking point.

 Beauty from the Breaking

That breaking point became the beginning of something greater. Life’s hardships had stripped away the noise, leaving space for God to speak clearly. What she had been missing all along was not more effort, but obedience. Faith. Belief. And most of all, surrender to Jesus Christ.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” —Psalm 127:1

In February 2024, her paternal grandmother passed away. The loss was crushing. In the midst of her grief, Jakira fell to the floor in tears—and the first thing she reached for was her iPad to sketch. Drawing had always been her refuge in overwhelming times since childhood. That moment marked a turning point: a return to the gift God had given her, and to the calling her grandmother had spoken years before. But the year was heavy. In March, a car accident. In May, the heartbreaking loss of her maternal grandmother and aunt. Hospital stays, health scares, panic attacks, and pain followed.

These hardships were never from God, but in the midst of them, His comfort and direction became clearer than ever. Through it all, she asked Him again: “Should I really be doing this?” And in His mercy, He answered in a dream with a word.

Raṅga

Unfamiliar with Sanskrit, she looked it up and was stunned.

Raṅga (RUNG-uh): color, hue, performance space, stage, play, joy.

In her spirit, she heard her grandmother’s voice: “Do your art.” One word captured it all—her painting, design, writing, even her singing. What life’s circumstances had dulled, God was now restoring.

“He makes all things new.” —Revelation 21:5

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28

Where Color Meets Calling

That was the turning point. Ms. Scott Studios was not born from ambition but from obedience, surrender, and God’s grace made visible. It is more than art or a creative business—it is an assignment. A place where grace, faith, and artistry meet, and where the glory always returns to the first Creator, God. Today, Jakira creates not from pressure but from purpose. Ms. Scott Studios exists to build something lasting—art that reflects faith and creation, drawn from the Spirit and inspired by life.
