So, I work for a company where I find myself doing a little bit of everything on the creative side. When we finally hired a second person to fill the same type of role, she suggested “Creative Specialist”. It kinda says “I do a little of everything.” Sounds good, too!

Anyway, look forward to seeing the new developments.

Honestly, I don’t have any specific suggestions, just an overall redesign. Speaking personally as a UI/Visual designer, a project like this would be nice because all the architecture and usability is already done by the experts, you guys, so all the focus can go towards the design.

I think in the past a lot of designers ignored recommendations from people like Nielsen because his site was so awful visually. It’s a sad truth that a lot of designers turn their noses up at things they don’t find visually appealing regardless of how useful it is. (It’s a curse.) You folks have some really important things to tell us designers, and I hate to think of people skipping over your site because the design turned them away. (Especially when it’s a relatively easy thing to fix.)

Hugh, we’re always open to suggestions. If you’re a long time reader, you might have noticed a recent refresh of our visuals. Of course, it’s kind of like the cobbler’s kids not having the nicest shoes in town… the cobbler is of course busy repairing everyone else’s shoes and not his own…

Let us hear your suggestions!

I’ve been a big fan of UIE because of their awesome research on usability, etc. But disappointed that the site doesn’t look better than it does.

I think it’s time a usability company show that good usability doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the visual look and feel. It would certainly set you guys apart from Jacob’s nasty site.

I ended up going with something more technical, like “Systems Integrator” based on the job for which I applied, but I had to have a list ready.

In this case, you don’t have to sell yourself to an employer, you just have to explain yourself to the consumers (me, etc.). So, don’t worry about common business titles unless they happen to serve your purposes. You could just call yourself the Chief Getting Things Done Officer or CGTDO. Or, something like “Flexible Project Ninja.”

Welcome aboard. As a Product Manager, I would support you using that title simply on the principle that you are positioned to do everything that isn’t in someone else’s job description. Which is, quite often, a lot.
