Most of my roles have been 'designer' and I consider myself a designer first. but yes, once they find out I do some coding & programming I end up getting tasked with coding a lot of what I design.
This is good and bad. Good: you are able to make sure your shit looks exactly how you want it - a lot of developers I have worked with have a shitty eye for detail. Bad: the obvious... you get sucked into doing more dev projects rather than designing... what you want to do.
I still would not exclude your skills from your resume. A hybrid designer/dev is VERY valuable to an agency, especially a smaller sized one. The more you bring up the issue right away and speak about you don't like as a hybrid, the more you will find ways to fit into a role you enjoy, rather than hiding skills from your employer.
