Originally from Brooklyn, NY, I now call Columbia, South Carolina, home. As an entrepreneur and multidisciplinary artist, I lead with my vision for Dyes Effx, a unique tie-dye brand that blends craftsmanship with individual expression. This passion for creative excellence won Dyes Effx the Designer of the Year title in its debut at Columbia Fashion Week—a proud accomplishment that speaks to my commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and fostering connections through collaborative artistry.My background in photography extends to portraiture, headshots, family portraits, and engagement/wedding photography through my business, Chris Scott Photography and Design. This venture not only allows me to capture life’s moments but also serves as a foundation for my broader artistic pursuits, which span from graffiti and furniture design to dye artistry.With an Associate’s degree in Multimedia Programming and Design, I have a solid grounding in both creative and technical skills, and my journey has been enriched by a leadership role in customer service. Here, I cultivated skills in team management, customer relations, and the art of delivering exceptional experiences—a focus that remains central to my work today.At the heart of my journey is a dedication to making art accessible and collaborative. Whether working with stylists, artists, or other creatives, I am passionate about creating one-of-a-kind pieces that resonate with authenticity and connection. I’m excited to grow Dyes Effx and Chris Scott Photography and Design into platforms for creative innovation and partnership, inspiring both clients and collaborators to experience the art of personal expression in meaningful ways.
