Steve Ensminger's Portfolio

Independent designer, happy in digital and printed worlds, seeks smart, innovative clients – to make beautiful projects together.

Into: conceptual solutions and tactical implementation. Turn-ons: variety, new challenges, looking at the big picture.

History with some great agencies since landing in San Francisco way back in the '90s. Big name clients and small start-ups.

Echo Solar Marketing Design

Long-term relationship with a growing solar company. From 3-person startup, through venture funding and expansion. Brochures, digital designs, presentations, and oh so much more.

Stanford Course Website

EDEA (Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability) is an amazing two-quarter graduate course offered through Stanford’s d.school. I designed the site, then developed implementation templates for graphics and code.

Ecology & Environment Website

Quick turn design for a global scientific and engineering environmental management firm. A visual refresh to celebrate their 40th anniversary. 14 page templates.

Anthem Identity Guidelines

Identity guidelines targeted to a growing market segment. New design examples accompanied the typical (but intricate) instructions and demonstrations of the system.

Bagatto Website

Website design for a qualitative research firm. I hand-coded the site, which involved some snazzy PHP snippets for filtering the case studies.

TechTopics Website

250 pages of online science curriculum for kids. Limited budget and a receptive audience allowed for some creative visual solutions. I developed scores of small illustrations and micro animations.
