Elizabeth C. Agraphiotis is a commercial graphic designer who worked for a time in the comic book industry in the 1990s as a letterer for Comicraft. Although she was born in California, her family moved to France when she was very young. The first memories of her associated with her art are from the coloring books that her grandmother bought for her in a store in Paris, which would provide her with hours of entertainment and satisfaction. Her family always placed great importance on art, architecture, and interior design. She immediately began taking Fine Arts classes in Paris at a private art school when she was a teenager. Back in California, she finished high school at Pacific Palisades High School in 1988 and later studied Fine Arts at Santa Monica College.

In 1996, she started working at Richard Starkings' Comicraft studio, based in Los Angeles. Comicraft is one of the pioneering studios in digital comic book lettering. The first comic book labeled by Agraphiotis is The Amazing Spider-Man Vol.1 #416 (October 1996), which was followed by about 120 more comics, mainly for Marvel, although he also did some work for DC Comics, Awesome Comics and Image. For DC he worked mostly on The Books of Magic collection.

The bulk of her production is found in Marvel comics on various Spider-Man titles. She was also occasionally worked on Daredevil Vol. 2, The Invincible Iron Man Vol. 2, The New Mutants: Truth or Death, Generation X, Slingers, Thunderbolts, Cable, Alpha Flight Vol. 2, Black Panther Vol. 3, The Inhumans Vol. 2, among others. The last comic she was credited in is The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2 #13.

In the year 2000, she decided to leave Comicraft and embark on a new professional path. Since then, she has dedicated herself to commercial graphic design. In 2006 she returned to the classroom, studying graphic design at the University of California in Los Angeles. She has worked at Ritz Properties Inc. for eight years and since 2013 at the South Bay Bird Society, The Letterhead Factory, and Printing Press, jobs that she still holds and that she combines with being a mother. She resides in Redondo Beach, California, with her family.
