Kelly is the creator and founder of Watermarq Graphic Design, a division of UnCommon Affair, Inc. a custom invitation company she started in 2004. Kelly brings 12 years of graphic design agency experience until striking out on her own.

From Kelly, “”When creating Watermarq, I thought of presenting it as one of those “larger than life” design firms, where great design comes with a great price tag and an even greater ego.

But that's not what I'm about. I don't have an expensive studio and I don't have a secretary to screen my calls. It's just me, Kelly Marquardt. No fancy conference room, no traffic manager. Just a passion for design and 12+ years doing what I love. ”
