Summary:Collaboration between research and design is believed by many design theorists to offer new originality, insight and specialist expertise for product design. In practice, however, there exists a discrepancy between this ideal and a reality of unreconcilable cultural and methodological differences.

This study documents and discusses such a collaboration as an example of practice with implications for educators, designers and students. It identifies a new role with the appropriate knowledge and experience to act as bridges within companies, facilitating the adoption of design methodologies appropriate to changing priorities in the design industries.
