AP Staff Spotlight: Rob Baker, Graphics Designer
If you’ve ever held an AP book or magazine in your hands, worn an AP T-shirt, and just come by the offices for a visit, you’ve seen the creative fingerprints of Rob Baker.
Rob holds three earned degrees from Freed-Hardeman University: a B.S. in biology (with a minor in chemistry), a B.A. in art (with a minor in Bible), and an M.Ed. If that combination sounds unique, that’s because it is—and it’s part of what makes Rob such a rare asset in the Kingdom of God. He knows Scripture, understands science, and communicates both through compelling visuals that are biblically sound and graphically striking.
Rob has served as the Graphics Designer at Apologetics Press for the past 21 years. That title alone doesn’t do him justice, however. To call Rob “multi-talented” is to vastly understate the breadth of his God-given creativity, work ethic, and contribution to the work of AP.
Rob doesn’t just design—he creates. He takes the black and white text of the AP writers and brings the words to life with color and creativity. Whether it’s a new children’s book, a tract layout, a video thumbnail, or an artifact display at AP, Rob consistently delivers high-quality work that uplifts and educates man and honors God.
In addition to his full-time work at AP, Rob has also served as the youth minister at the Wetumpka church of Christ for the past 12 years. His love for teaching young people and his ability to connect with them are evident every June, when he serves as the director of AP Camp at ICYC in Oakman, Alabama. If you’ve never been, imagine a week overflowing with biblical teaching, beautiful singing, and a lot of fun—and a relentlessly energetic camp director who somehow has more fire on day five than most people do on day one.
Rob is a creative encourager and one of the hardest-working people I’ve ever known. His impact at AP and on the Kingdom of Christ is immeasurable—not just in the beauty of his designs, but in the strength of his faith and the contagious joy he brings daily to AP and all who know him.
