How to use 设计师

设计师 is a common job title for many kinds of designers, and it is often combined with a field in front of it. Examples include 服装设计师 (fashion designer), 室内设计师 (interior designer) and 平面设计师 (graphic designer). Example: 她是一名建筑设计师。(Tā shì yì míng jiànzhù shèjìshī.) She is an architect.

设计 (shèjì) means to design, and 师 (shī) is the suffix for a skilled professional, as in 老师 (lǎoshī) teacher. A 设计师 is literally a design professional.

Common mistake: Learners often write 设计 (shèjì) when they mean the person. 设计 is the verb or the design itself, so you need 师 to say designer. Also keep the tones straight: all three syllables are fourth, fourth, first (shè jì shī), and 师 is not 是 (shì).
