- I am Chelle Ellis, owner of Jaded Artist Media at jadedartist.com.
- I have been developing brands I find interesting along with their websites since 1997.
- I have nurtured these trademarks as clients of two of my own Internet media firms;
- And as art director, artist and web developer for two major daily newspapers and a magazine (along with their advertisers).
- I was also an artist and developer for the US Department of Defense.
- Below are a few detailed examples of my current clients/projects:
This is a social networking website for over 100 members, where artists can join or renew membership in the group, submit their work into exhibits, register in art workshops, build a simple artist webpage featuring their current project with a slideshow, link, and video. Users can also add photos to their galleries, send/receive messages and “tweets” with other members, post in forums, and view the group calendar, deadlines, and news.
- By digitizing all join/registration/submission processes, I increased membership, exhibit and volunteer participation by more than 30%.
- Exhibitions in 2020 were canceled, so I developed a virtual exhibit for the group: Together Virtual Art Exhibit. Users could tour the exhibit via mouse, with the ability to purchase it online. I also developed a FlipBook for users who might find 3D-VR to be wobbly.

- I created the organization; organized, produced and curated all four of the art exhibits; designed the logos, branding and merchandise; developed and maintain the website, webstore, online catalogs, videos and 3D virtual exhibits, since 2016.

- A website I am developing for the G.O.A.T. PICNIC, which celebrates the heritage & music of Otha Turner; through an annual goat roasting picnic, with ancestral fife & drum music by The Rising Stars Fife and Drum Band; as well as live performances by Rhythm & Blues artists, who come to the picnic from all parts of the nation.

- A historic home renovation blog that I developed and maintain in WordPress for my pre-1883 home in Coldwater, Mississippi.
- Sadie was the wife of the original owner, and the home was known locally as “Sadie’s Place”.
- My husband, Kenny, and I are the content creators for this blog that I developed in WordPress, at the end of 2017.
- The website has a subscriber membership of over 500 people and a Facebook group with over 200 members.
- Audience can engage, comment and subscribe to the website newsletter for emailed updates.
- Authored by the child of a 20th century renaissance man, who jumped a train at age fourteen during the Great Depression, to grab his piece of the American Dream in Memphis, Tennessee.
- The brand represents a way of life inherent before birth for self-determination without responsibility to any authority while resisting conformity to conventional norms and expectations.
- The website is an online magazine and video archive offering lifestyle influence and a repository of educational materials in various subjects of liberal arts.

- I am a visual artist, with a working studio since 2006.
- I have developed two websites with separate functions:
- Moosh Print Studio is my working art studio, named after my muse and little black & white Pekingese, Mooshi Moonpie.
- mooshprint.com is an e-commerce and blog website I developed and maintain in WordPress.
- mooshprint.com is where I sell my work and easily post updated information about my process or art exhibits where my work is sold.
- chelleellis.com is a website I designed in Adobe Photoshop and developed in Notepad in dHTML/javascript.
- chelleellis.com is my personal website I have been dragging from server to server for two decades. It’s easy to take down and set back up and I am simply sentimental for its retro style/functionality.
