Biography

Katie Glantz has a deep-rooted appreciation of art and a passion for graphic design. Her career began in 1996 at The Dallas Museum of Natural History, where she designed everything from banners and posters to business cards and mailers. She also conducted educational tours in her spare time.

After graduating from The Art Institute of Dallas in 1997, Katie honed her Mac skills at Matthews International before joining Virtual Packaging in Irving, Texas, where she developed and managed the country's first digital prototyping studio and gained a thorough understanding of the packaging design process. Katie's dream of starting her own company was realized in 1999 with the launch of JABEYE, which has established an international reputation with its thought-provoking design solutions for branding, packaging, print, and the Web.

One of Katie's ongoing projects is the Web site for the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd, David Gilmour. It's an evolving site and there are plenty of updates, whether it's audio, new graphics, or content. She has worked recently with renowned hairstylist Jose Eber, and her designs have been sought-after by other celebrities. Her long-term ambition is to work with Chef Gordon Ramsay in the UK and, locally, Mark Cuban – whose entrepreneurial spirit has been a great inspiration.

To stay motivated, Katie takes on projects that keep her interested – You have to love what you're doing to stay focused and creative; without a deep appreciation for the project you'll never be able to do your best work.

To keep from burning out, she avoids working on weekends (unless there's a crucial deadline to meet) and is always keen to try other creative outlets.
