Designer is a broad term for a person who designs any of a variety of things. That usually implies the task of creating or of being creative in a particular area of expertise. It is frequently used to reference someone who draws or in some ways uses visual cues to organize their work.
Designer is also the title for a person practicing in one of the design fields, such as architecture or engineering, but who is not licensed or does not possess a four year degree in that field.
Designer is especially used in reference to a fashion designer, usually one who has his/her own line or house (disambiguation), such as Givenchy and Versace. [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=designer. See Haute Couture.
