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.
Andrea is a graduate of Wichita State University and spent a career in public relations in the non-profit sector before coming to Baseline. Andrea is an experienced strategist, event planner, crisis communicator and writer.
She is a lifelong Wichitan except for a two-year stint in Colorado. Yes, it was beautiful. Yes, she wanted to come back to Kansas. And no, she isn’t crazy.
Andrea is a prolific reader and binge-watcher of all genres with a special place in her heart for science fiction. But the real wind beneath her wings is her family including her husband and two amazing teenagers. A rescue dog named Maggie is the pet who has her heart.
Ben is the driving force behind all of Baseline Creative’s websites. Armed with a degree in computer science from Bethel College, Ben is an authority on all things related to databases, code and innumerable scripting languages. The Newton native has been the lead developer at Baseline Creative since 2007 and is known for being incredibly intuitive and patient with both clients and the Baseline team.
In his limited spare time, Ben enjoys lounging with his wife, Anna, and their two dogs. The Voth family recently added a baby, Hollis, to their brood including older sister, Amelia. So we’re not joking about the limited spare time.
Ben has diverse musical interests ranging from ska to his favorite jazz musician, Don Ellis. He’s always keeping the office guessing musically. He also loves BBQ, good science fiction and comic books.
Great design, photography, the color green, Andy Warhol, and corgis are just a few of the things Hannah is passionate about. Hannah has experience as a graphic designer in several industries including higher education, legal, and non-profit before joining Baseline. 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.
Hannah loves Zumba and was an instructor before the birth of her son, however now, her toddler keeps her so busy that her hobbies include drinking coffee and sleeping. When she has time, Hannah enjoys taking photos for family and friends.
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.
Andrew graduated from Fort Hays State University with a Bachelor in Fine Arts in graphic design. He appreciates the problem-solving skills needed to reach a goal through design. He wields a mighty pen, and mouse, like a Jedi, to create beautiful and functional designs, logos and animations for clients to help elevate their brands.
Andrew’s love of comic books inspired him to get interested in art and drawing. He watches movies—science fiction is his favorite genre—and in the battle between Star Wars and Star Trek, he prefers the former. Rounding out his interests include playing board games, and he even runs a Dungeons & Dragons group! Andrew has an energetic dog named Callee and they enjoy running together to unwind at the end of the day. We haven’t confirmed yet if Callee also plays D&D but we’re not ruling that out because Andrew has great taste in hobbies, design and dogs.
Donald's love of programming can be traced back to his teenage years, and has been a hobby of his ever since. After getting married, Donald immediately started going to school and studying hard to turn his hobby into a career he enjoys and earned his degree in Software Development, focusing on web technologies.
Donald and his family are video game fanatics, and generally love all things geeky. Marvel movies are their weakness and they have enjoyed watching them in chronological order as a family. Donald enjoys binge-watching shows with his wife, developing Roblox games with his son, and just spending time with his newborn baby girl. He is the proud owner of the two most spoiled guinea pigs in the world, a rescued German Shepherd mix named Maximus, and has the fattest, friendliest squirrels in town.
Ashlyn is a graduate of Wichita State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Marketing Communication and has a Master of Arts in Communication. Ashlyn was a graduate teaching assistant and taught Public Speaking for two years. She is a solid researcher with experience composing and running focus groups, and creating strategies based on her research. Ashlyn loves the field of digital marketing and communications because of the daily variety and creativity and the constantly changing landscape requires her to always learn something new.
In her free time, Ashlyn enjoys traveling, shopping and stumbling onto a really good restaurant or brewery. While she doesn’t have any pets (yet), she does have a nearly two-year-old niece that she is obsessed with and declares that “Aunt life is the best life!”

Traveling is also a passion for Gabby, and she loves going on trips to museums and places with interesting history. And she loves going to Disney World!
Gabby has an 11-year-old Bichon Frise named Paparazzi because he follows her around the house all day.
