×She is a designer of clothes.
✓She is a fashion designer.
While 'designer of clothes' is grammatically correct, the standard and natural compound noun is 'fashion designer'. Using the more specific term sounds more native.
×I bought a designer bag. It means I am a designer.
✓I bought a designer bag. It means the bag was created by a famous designer.
'Designer' as an adjective (e.g., designer bag, designer jeans) means 'made by a famous fashion designer' or 'expensive and fashionable'. It does not mean the speaker is the designer.
×He is a designer in a software company.
✓He is a software designer / UI designer / game designer at a software company.
The word 'designer' is too vague in professional contexts. It should be specified with the field (e.g., graphic designer, web designer, interior designer) to convey the precise role.
×She is a designer of this building.
✓She is the architect of this building.
For buildings and large structures, the professional title is typically 'architect', not 'designer'. 'Designer' is more commonly used for fashion, graphics, products, and interiors.
×My job is designer.
✓My job is as a designer. / I am a designer by profession.
In English, we typically do not use a bare noun like 'designer' directly after 'My job is...'. A more natural structure is 'I am a designer' or 'I work as a designer'.
