Graphic-Poetry was originally founded in 2001 as Elizabeth Rose Designs, named after its owner Elizabeth “Liz” Rose Maute. The company then helped businesses with branding, website design and printed marketing materials. In 2011, Liz expanded to include wedding and event print design after she discovered the opportunity to customize wedding invitations while researching for her own wedding. Then she did her sister’s wedding invitations…then a friend’s… then another friend’s…. then their friends… and co-workers… and well, you get the idea. Soon Liz was doing bridal shows and with the encouragement of her husband began turning a side hustle into a full fledged brand, Graphic-Poetry.

In 2018 Liz retired the original business name and Graphic-Poetry was made official. Boasting a marriage of imagery and words, Graphic-Poetry helps couples, businesses and event organizers design their stories.
