To specify the field, 'Designer' (designer) is often used as the second part of a compound noun, for example 'Modedesigner' (fashion designer), 'Grafikdesigner' (graphic designer), or 'Produktdesigner' (product designer).
Als Grafikdesigner gestaltet er Logos und Webseiten.

artist
'der Künstler' and 'der Designer' both work creatively and design or create something. An artist primarily creates art, for example paintings, music, or sculptures. A designer creates things that often also have a practical purpose, such as clothing, websites, furniture, or packaging. The words can be confused because design can also be beautiful and creative. 'Künstler' fits better when free artistic expression is the main focus. 'Designer' is more precise when someone professionally designs something for a specific use.
