It depends on what's already been established; if you're a designer co-founder and your other co-founders are assuming CEO/CTO/CMO titles, you should insist on 'Chief Design Officer'. Although as someone who has that title myself, I always refer to myself as "The Design Co-Founder". Official titles are nice for resumes and business cards, but always sound douchey in person...
Head of Design. That's my title at Xero. I'm a co-founder, but that's not relevant to my title. What is relevant is that I work across the entire business: product, marketing, brand, business strategy. I find it works quite well in communicating the gravitas of the role, nice and simply.
