David Meredith is an American photographer and graphic designer.

Career

Meredith attended Brigham Young University, and also worked with one of his professors, Adrian Pulfer, in a graphic design studio in Salt Lake City. In 1997, David relocated to New York, and worked as an assistant to photographers Hans Gissinger and Rodney Smith. He then went to work for Susan Slover Associates as a graphic designer. After about a year, he was offered a position as a designer for Robert Valentine, where he helped design the launch issues of Real Simple. He also photographed for clients, including Interface and Barbara Barry. Eventually, a co-worker at Valentine left to become an art director for Aveda, and hired David to shoot for the company.
Meredith left Robert Valentine and worked as an independent photographer and designer. It was during this time that David was invited by Gale Towey, the creative director at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, to help redesign the logo and overall photography of the Martha Stewart Living magazine.
Soon afterwards, David founded the design firm Pilot NY, and photographed for design clients, building his photography portfolio. Book design has been his most award-winning work, especially designing for fellow photographers Rodney Smith and Andrew Zuckerman.
Most recently, Meredith partnered with Barbara Barry to publish Around Beauty. He designed the book and took all of its photographs.
In 2014, Meredith was juror for the 2012 Communication Arts Photography Annual.
Meredith's design clients include Apple, McGuire/Kohler, Henredon, Barbara Barry, and Anthropologie. As a photographer, he is represented by Cornelia Adams, and clients include Aveda, Anthropologie, Target, Nike, Ralph Lauren, Real Simple, and Martha Stewart.
Meredith is an adjunct professor at Brigham Young University, teaching design and photography. He currently resides in both New York City and Utah.
