We are a close knit team of creatives and developers. If you dream it, we can build it.
Hailing from Topeka, Nathan attended the University of Kansas, where he began his lifelong affinity for letterforms and graphic design. A quick study at reverse-engineering of undocumented printing methods, he began creating fonts from historic samples in 1995 and established his own type foundry, Baseline Fonts, in 1999.
Nathan has spent almost two decades as a hybrid designer, constantly evolving alongside technology and industry shifts. He founded Baseline Creative in 2005 and has grown it into a full-service agency. He finds inspiration everywhere and in everyone but especially in a good cup of coffee.
On the home front, Nathan is an avid baker and enjoys printmaking and painting. He has three brilliant daughters, an amazingly effervescent wife, a Golden Retriever named Betty, a Kansas Humane Society rescue named JoJo, and a menagerie of cats—acquired by his wife and daughters. His favorite, over all, is orange.
Bridgette brings to Baseline more than a decade of brand management, strategic planning and public relations experience in health care, non-profit, higher education and the corporate world. Her volunteer work speaks to her core values, and social justice.
Bridgette puts her masters of business law, and bachelor's degree in public relations and political science, to good use by implementing procedures and protocols that help Baseline operate more efficiently. She thinks five—if not 10—steps ahead at all times.
Bridgette has an innate business sense that allows her to manage the more pragmatic side of a creative firm. She helps coach staff members and keeps them on task—all with a smile on her face. She helps shape our team as the hiring manager, and applicants will earn some unofficial bonus points if they've read this far and understand who to reach out to about opportunities with Baseline.
She identifies as a bona fide crazy cat lady. It all started with the late Burt Reynolds and his littermate Frida Kahlo, brown tabby and Lynx Point Siamese respectively, and now includes Schwarz the orange tabby and Phoenix the tiny tuxey. Her canine companions, Betty White the Golden Retriever, and JoJo effervescent American Shelter Dog round out her fur squad.

Hannah’s previous experience as a graphic designer before joining Baseline included graphic design for higher education, legal, and non-profits. She graduated from Friends University with a BA in Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design and Studio Art and is a natural creative. Hannah channels her creativity into her diverse design work and photography.
As the Art Director for Baseline, Hannah is known for her eye for details. She can spot uneven kerning or margins from a mile away and guides designers toward creativity, and consistency. Hannah is also our resident color expert and may have been a Pantone representative in a previous life. Photography and videography are two of her specialties, creating beautiful visuals for clients.
Hannah, like the rest of the Baseline team, has pets she adores. Stella and Ringo are Pembroke Welsh Corgis, and their names are inspired by one of the greatest bands of all time—The Beatles.
Bethany graduated from Wichita State University with a BFA in Studio Art and a minor in Women’s Studies.

She can often be found barefoot, whether she’s camping, gardening, stargazing, splashing in puddles, or photographing flowers and cool bugs. Bethany adds to our pet-loving team with two beautiful kitties, Pippie and Poutine, adopted from the Kansas Humane Society and WAAL.
Brittany was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas.

Shane is a Full Stack Developer at Baseline and he knows over 15 programming languages and has mastered six of them. Shane’s love of coding began in high school and he continued his education at Flint Hills Technical College. After college, his first professional job helped him learn even more and gave him a love of learning even more on his own.
Shane enjoys development because of the challenge of taking a blank site and turning it into a functioning work of digital art and code. His favorite part is presenting a website to a client and seeing them light up as they look through what he helped build.
In his spare time, Shane plays disc golf, video games, or is coding or learning new tech. He builds PCs and writes programs for himself including a D&D Tracker app for him and his friends to use when they play.
As with many on the Baseline team, Shane shares a family pet, a cat named Milkshake who breaks the stereotype of a typical cat by following him around and insisting on constant attention from him.
