Our Story

Some companies are built for profit.

Glowbox was built out of pure passion.

It started the way the best things always do — with a kid, a wall full of posters, and a mom who believed in magic. Growing up in the 1980s, Jesse Lee was captivated by the atmosphere of movie theaters, arcades, and the shopping malls of America’s golden era. The glow of a marquee. The larger-than-life artwork of a movie poster. The feeling that something extraordinary was happening just behind that lit-up frame.
His mother Nancy — the heart and soul behind everything Glowbox would become — would walk into VHS rental stores and ask if they had any extra posters her son could have. Jesse would plaster every inch of his walls. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Batman. Star Wars. Thriller. The Dark Crystal. Van Damme. Swamp Thing. Each poster a portal to another world.

That feeling never left him.

After earning his Graphic Design degree and spending over two decades as an eCommerce consumer — experiencing both extraordinary and deeply disappointing customer service along the way — Jesse made a decision. He would build a company that honored that childhood magic. A company that treated every customer the way he always wanted to be treated. A company that made something no one else in the world was making.

In 2013, right in the heartland of America — Kansas City, Missouri — Glowbox LLC was born.

What We Believe

We believe your posters deserve better than a plain frame gathering dust on a wall.

We believe the movies, the music, the moments, and the characters that shaped your life deserve to be displayed with the same energy and reverence you feel for them.

We believe American craftsmanship matters — and that a frame built by hand in Kansas City hits different than one mass-produced overseas and dropped in a warehouse.
And we believe that every single customer who trusts us with their walls deserves to be treated like family — because to us, that is exactly what you are.

Who We Are

Glowbox LLC is a family owned and operated small business based in Kansas City, Missouri. Every frame we produce is custom made to order in the USA — handcrafted to your exact specifications, in your chosen size, in your chosen color, and shipped directly to your door via FedEx.

We are not a faceless corporation. We are not a dropshipping operation. We are not a call center.
We are Jesse, his family, and a team that genuinely loves what they do — and it shows in every frame that leaves our shop.

Since our founding, we have:

🟢 Handcrafted over 5,000 custom LED frames
