Melissa Babina

Director of Design and Interactive Strategy

Melissa earned her BFA in Visual Communication Design from the University of Hartford Art School, studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, and worked as a graphic and web designer for five years at a digital marketing and branding firm in Connecticut.

Melissa made the move from Connecticut to El Paso in June 2018 to join her husband, Jake, and cats, Kitten, Nala and Taquito. She thrives in her role, sharing her north eastern charm with the Sun City, one client at a time.

Design is her first love, but baking to 60’s Rock ‘n Roll (scones & whoopie pies are her specialty!) is a close second.

Felicia graduated with honors from Texas Tech University, where she earned both a Bachelor’s degree in Advertising and a Master’s degree in Mass Communication with an emphasis in interactivity and consumer behavior.
