Fast Company on experience designers
Fast Company reports on the 10 Hot Jobs for 2007. Number one pick is "experience designer", which they define this way:
These talented individuals work in the retail industry, creating the essence and aura of a store. Experience designers go beyond the look of a place, creating a unique experience in which shoppers can immerse themselves.
Surely one can design an experience that doesn't deal with storefront retail... but point taken - good experience is "hot" now.
Sheesh, I think my work basically asks me to do all of those jobs at once. Maybe not the medical researcher one, but a little bit of all the rest of them.
