    The way I see it:

    + Senior Designer requires experience
    + Lead Designer requires leadership ability.

    I'm 23 and my official role is 'Lead Designer', albeit in a very small company.

    I'm far from senior as I only have 2 and a half year in industry, but in that time I have led multiple projects and in my current job I'm the guy that gives the final yes/no, as well as producing most of the design work.

    I don't feel like an arse calling myself lead designer, as I lead the design of our product.

    I consider myself 'lead' simply because there is noone above me, but occasionally I have people working for me.
