A designer is a person who designs or creates something. Perhaps the broadest definition is that provided by psychologist Herbert Simon: 'Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.' As well as amateur designers, there are many professional designer occupations (see list of Examples).

So, for example, there were 'designer chairs' and 'designer jeans'. The term later came to be applied to anything that was ostentatiously created for a purpose, such as 'designer drugs', or even the 'designer stubble' worn by some fashionable men. a designer is a person who designs objects. --99.188.224.223 (talk) 01:14, 5 February 2010 (UTC)The role of a designer in today's society goes far beyond that of which it has traditionally and historically been known for.

Please tell what more do they need? Asked by BabymaH - Mon Jan 14 05:29:03 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. In shop work we have two types of supplies, on hand non job specific and supplies purchased specifically for a particular job. On hand non job specific supplies include pins, needles, threads, zippers in many colours and lengths, hooks and eyes, basic buttons, interfacings in all weights, china silk for linings, and cotton muslin for making test garments to fine tune design and fit. These are often purchased from warehouses or wholesalers in large lots. I buy rolls of interfacings and linings, never two yards here or three yards there...I always buy a whole roll.
