I use the term Functional Architect. The issue is that for many larger projects (with 100 people over years), there are actually 3 distinct jobs with different skillsets. There is the designer who works with product management marketing to help PM figure out what they want, and the focus is

I pretty much like the inversion. Intead of Interaction Design, I use Design for Interaction. In that way I feel confortable to explain it further in whatever context. Nowadays I am designing hardware interfaces, before I worked with software and internet services, mainly with interface design and

I like the term interface designer, as it includes the artifact in question. Calling an interface designer by some other name is like calling a graphic designer a visual experience architect or some such nonsense. I hate the term user experience designer, as I don't believe you can design

Before I started doing hardware design, I said software designer. Like Josh I thought it helpful to focus on the product and found that interface was too technical. Now that I do hardware, I'm stuck with interaction designer and the labor (of love) of explaining to people exactly what I do. In a

It's probably overly simplistic, but I just use Web Designer usually. I still think that anything 'architect' is a bit pretentious unless you're putting up buildings. Interface Designer is a close second for me, but I find that it doesn't come-off as well unless I'm there in person to explain

I agree with Dave on this. I've always gone by the title Interaction Designer. This is in large part because that is specifically what my degree is in, but I've always considered my self to be an advocate for IxD. So, when somebody asks me what I do, or when I am introducing myself to a
