Ann McFerran, founder of Glamnetic and a Forbes 30 Under 30 awardee, has redefined the beauty industry. McFerran’s journey began in Bangkok, Thailand, before transitioning to California, where she pursued a degree in psychobiology at UCLA. Yet, her creative passion led her away from a medical career, guiding her into the arts, where she began to explore her entrepreneurial potential.

Glamnetic was born out of McFerran’s desire to simplify lash application. The company's innovative magnetic lashes with eyeliner quickly gained traction, solving a major pain point in the beauty industry. Through savvy digital marketing tactics, including DIY advertisements featuring McFerran herself, Glamnetic's popularity skyrocketed. Bootstrapped from the ground up, the brand has grown to generate over 9 figures in revenue.
