The context of this thread is visual design for websites. Not design for off topic bullshit like furniture. Also I agree with a lot of what you said. The only difference is I feel anyone can do it. The qualities you attributed to a good designer are trivial to learn. Make no mistake it takes time and effort to do these things and many companies neeed a specialized role where someone is only doing this thing… But anyone can do it and learn it. And not anyone can learn how to program.
