[IxDA Discuss] What sets the 'best' interaction designers apart?

[manish pillewar]

Sorry got dc.

Who am I?
All this discussion has triggered this conflict in my
mind again. The question is can we really define
designers for sure. How many roles do we finally come
out with? Do we make roles to suit our purpose? Cant
we have simple defined teminology for the types of
designers that exists in the market?
Im trained as a product designer, but do interfaces.
I've done some furniture design to and i know im good
at it. My job requires me to do visual design as well,
so im a graphic designer. Do i code too? yes i used to
before i got into design. So i can code too. I have
worked on emerging technologies and done New MEdi
projects. So i've touched interaction design too. 
Here's profile 2: trained in animation design, working
as a 'product conceptualiser', another- trained in
film making, but working as a strategy manager for a
product based company.
The question that baffels me is: What do i call
myself. Am i a Interaction designer or product or
furniture or a design manager or i can plan your brand
strategy as well?
Am i what they call( safely) a User Experience
Designer?
