I fully agreee, another detail is that most of the time, designers are expected to think. It's a wrong assumption. 

The reasearch and development side, that should be prioritized at the beginning, before even start thinking about designing. If there's no information to digest, the output is usually flat and bland.

Designers draw, is not their fault. Architects and Product Strategists are those responsible to successful products that actually deliver memorable experieces. We put a lot of meanings into the term _designer_ that it became so generic to reach the point of fully lose its role in the production process.

Design

I propose a new design term: "total design failure".

Not all designers are UX oriented. Most of them are just designers. To be able to provide a perfectly functional design, you have to also experience and use the design.

So, I raise a flag here: try to work on what you love or on what passionate you. Otherwise improvement or evolution will never appear - and I am talking on all levels.
