You're a usability-obsessed User Experience Designer with deep UCD skills and you feed continuously on UX community best-practices. You quote Don Norman in your sleep, and you’ve seen Alan Cooper give a keynote at least once. You have enough technical UI chops that you can stuff done without generating lots of unnecessary design artifacts.

To be happy, you are driven to interact with, listen to, and learn from your users and your peers.

You just have to work in a collaborative, iterative, lean, user-centered design team.
