Christy Lewis

Co-Owner and Graphic Designer

Christy Lewis spent many days as a kid recording herself reading ads out of the yellow pages and creating her own jingles for her radio show. Christy was born and raised in Odessa, Texas. She graduated from the Texas Tech University school of Mass Communications with a Bachelors in Broadcast Journalism. Through her experience serving in youth ministry, Christy developed her passion for media, advertising & design. She served many summers on video teams throughout college, filming mission trips and putting together highlight videos.

After college, Christy worked in ministry for 7 years in Odessa, promoting church events through web, graphics, social media, video, photography and print.

Christy is always the person at the family get-together or sporting event with a camera around her neck. She loves photography and capturing life’s adventures through the lens.

Christy moved to Hobbs in 2012 and most recently gained experience in web design and graphics within the world of Real Estate. There she used her photography skills, graphics and video in various advertising and design mediums.

Christy helped mold the idea and vision for Ampersand, and knew that Lea County was in great need for a place like Ampersand. A place where ideas and dreams can become a reality. Ampersand has been quite the adventure so far for Christy and she’s very excited to see where journey will take her, who she’ll meet along the way and what amazing creations will come from within the team that is Ampersand.
