Professional career
David Reinfurt graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1993, and received an MFA from Yale University in 1999.

From 1995 to 1997, he worked as an interaction designer at IDEO (San Francisco). He designed the interface of the machines for sale of tickets on the subway of New York, under the direction of designer Masamichi Udagawa.

Collaborations
From 2000 to 2010, David Reinfurt and Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey published a semi-annual graphic arts magazine called Dot Dot Dot. In 2006, Reinfurt and Bertolotti-Bailey established Dexter Sinister, a studio-bookstore located at 38 Ludlow Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

In 2012, Reinfurt, Bertolotti-Bailey, and Angie Keefer founded the The Serving Library. Francesca Bertolotti-Bailey joined in 2015 and Vincenzo Latronico joined in 2018. As a continuation of Dot Dot Dot, in the spring of 2011 they launched a new biannual publication, Bulletins of The Serving Library, which remained active until 2017. In 2017, this journal became annual and adopted the title The Serving Library Annual.

Teaching
Reinfurt has taught at a number of universities including Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Rhode Island School of Design, and Yale University School of Art.

In 2010, Reinfurt began teaching at Princeton University. He sets up a university program around graphic design and interaction design. Eight years later, this work will be documented through the book A *New* Program for Graphic Design.

Muriel Cooper
David Reinfurt and Robert Wiesenberger are curators of an exhibition entitled Messages and Means: Muriel Cooper at MIT shown in 2014 at the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery (a Columbia University exhibition space in New York). To mount this exhibition, they went through the Muriel Cooper archives and selected printed works, videos, and computer works, illustrating Muriel Cooper's four decades of activity.

This research work led to a monograph, edited by Reinfurt and Wiesenberger, published in 2017 by MIT Press.

A *New* Program for Graphic Design
In 2016, Inventory Press invited Reinfurt to publish a book about his teaching at Princeton. Reinfurt proposes to create a book from recorded lectures. During the summer of 2018, he delivered three days of public lectures, which compress a semester of teaching into one day. The book is derived from these recordings.
