Twenty years of designing and researching across several disciplines led me to realize that transdisciplinary is not the same as combining knowledge from different fields. Transdisciplinary design research means moving from one discipline to another to follow an expansive object. This is a reflection I presented as my first lecture in the MXD program at the University of Florida. Presented in the following linear format, this narrative does not account for all the moments of despair, frustration, sorrow, and feeling lost in my career. I underplay them here to paint a positive big picture, in the spirit of US culture.
