Is design an interdisciplinary subject?

Design has never been comfortable staying in one room. The moment you try to fence it, it slips through the gap between pottery and poetry, between a Japanese ceramic and a UX flow. Broad exposure doesn't just make you more cultured. It changes how you think. It gives you more ways to see a problem before you reach for a solution.

And yet there is a trap here. Breadth without depth becomes decoration. The real gift of interdisciplinary curiosity is that it dissolves formula. Design is not a recipe. Every problem arrives with its own weather. The person who has wandered widely is better equipped to meet it honestly.
