Having gained deep experience in project management at Industrial Light + Magic (ILM), Lucasfilm’s premier visual effects film company, Elle co-founded Trademark Event Productions, Inc. in 1997 to fuse the discipline and artistry of project management to corporate event production.

Recently, Trademark has joined forces with charity: water, a world-renowned non-profit that is funding clean water projects in 24 countries across the globe. Under her guidance, the company expanded its team and diversified its scope of services to include marketing tours and conferences across the US, evaluation of strategic marketing programs, tradeshow properties and management, and press events.

Most recently, Elle led the launch of TRADEMARK TESTING, a solutions-driven partnership of software, medical, and logistics experts to provide COVID testing operations for corporate and academic campuses.
