I think we all focus too much on titles. Many folk who used to call themselves IA's have retitled themselves as UxD's. Big woop. There's three core competencies in the software production process, Technical, Visual and Process,and all of them have to work well together to make a great product.

I have a title (IA), but when I tell people what I do I say "I do process. I look at something and figure out how it is supposed to work, and find the smoothest path".
