[Sigia-l] IA or UXA? Which do you prefer?

I personally prefer "Wireframe Monkey."

Seriously,

At this point in my career I think of myself more as a "User Experience
Architect."  I handle strategy, define success metrics, conduct research,
create IA deliverables, and inform and advise on technology, design and
content, all with the intention of creating that illusive "perfect" user
experience.

Perhaps more important, I chose to name my consultancy UXConcepts not
IAConcepts and have had much more success generating new business describing
myself to clients as someone that architects user experiences as opposed to
information.
