His work has been reproduced as billboards, web graphics, in legal reports and in the New York Times. In a 2007 project with Invisible Venue, Stienstra created a guerrilla billboard intervention sourced from censored media related to the Iraq war; more recently this spring 2012 Stienstra's "Visitor Warning," his censored 2005 billboard design about Florida's "shoot first law," was reintroduced to the public sphere via Facebook, in the wake of the murder of Florida teen Trayvon Martin. Stienstra is design director at the Focal Point, an Oakland-based trial consulting firm. He has created graphics for numerous cases, including a civil suit against former Haitian warlord Emmanuel Constant, and maintains an ongoing commitment to produce pro-bono graphics for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
