    I've been A/B testing a few of them here are the reactions so far:

    I'm a designer: Oh, cool. (Generally they think I just make flyers)

    I'm a UX Designer: Whats that? (No one knew what it was, and I had to mumble something about users)

    I'm a User Interface Designer: Oh cool, for like websites and stuff? (Most people get this for some reason, and ask more. Also seems to get a little more respect if thats important to you)

    I Design websites and apps: Oh cool! (I think this one wins so far, its clear, its not over the top, and they get it)
