Background and education

Based in Texas, Kristy graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Computer Information Systems degree at the age of 20. [4]

Career

Following her graduation from university, Kristy worked as an IT engineer. She left working in the ICT industry to pursue social media content creation full-time. She began her content-creating career by posting videos alongside her former husband and their kids. [5] Her content focuses on family-oriented fun and reactions, and home design, aesthetics and renovation. [4] [6] [7] [8] She became very popular with her videos on social media. One video shows her tricking her former husband with a cake that looks like a chicken, and another video shows her making a playhouse for her kids. [9] [10] [11]

Kristy and her former husband were guests at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in April 2022. [12] By 2023, she had amassed approximately 11 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and secured brand partnerships with companies including Estée Lauder, Hilton, and Google. [4] That year, she was included in the Forbes 30 under 30 social media category. [3] [4]

In 2023, Kristy released her personalized planner in a collaborative effort with notebook maker North + Third. [13] The planner, which was a 6-month, 174-page scheduling format, included pages for setting goals, bucket lists, managing one's projects, and budgeting, alongside the conventional weekly and monthly pages of the calendar. [14] [15]

Personal life

Kristy married Desmond Scott, her high school sweetheart, in 2014 after four years of dating. [16] [17] They have two sons together and own a production company centered on wedding videography. [17] In 2024, the couple celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary with a lavish party that was featured in People magazine. [18] Kristy filed for divorce on December 30, 2025, citing alleged infidelity that "completely wiped out any reasonable chance of reconciliation." [19] In her divorce petition, she requested that the court restore her surname to her maiden name, Small. [20]
