In this paper we argue that the idea of design in HCI is changing. For many years the design-as-engineering approach has dominated
HCI research and practice, but now technological developments and new conceptions of ’the user’ require more interdisciplinary
conceptions of design. In particular, the turn to experience in HCI has lead us to consider a design-as-craft perspective
which we exemplify in this paper by the work of digital jeweller, Jayne Wallace. But our aim is not to supplant one design
perspective with an other. On the contrary, we argue that experience design requires a new form of radically interdisciplinary
dialogue between different design perspectives that span the arts, sciences and humanities. However, such radically interdisciplinary
dialogue is not without its problems and points of contention. We conclude by arguing that not only new conceptual tools but
also new HCI curricula may be helpful in achieving this interdisciplinary dialogue.
