Nathan (he/him/his)

Principal + Owner

Hailing from Topeka, Nathan attended the University of Kansas, where he began his lifelong affinity for letterforms and graphic design. 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, bicycle enthusiast, 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.

Bridgette (she/her/hers)

Vice President

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 (she/her/hers)

Agency Director

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.

Andrea is the Agency Director for Baseline Creative and oversees staff and strategic direction for clients. In her multi-faceted role, Andrea is committed to continuing the culture of collaboration at Baseline and being a cheerleader for team members. Andrea also enjoys building relationships with clients, and working with them to evaluate the bigger picture and work toward goals.

Andrea loves spending time with her family including her husband and two nearly grown children and their rescue dog, a Beagle/Basset mix named Maggie.
