What is a Hybrid Designer?

This is how the Fast Company Defines a Hybrid Designer...

"It's a progressive notion about the multi-dimensional craft of "doing things," as well as a reflection on the interconnectedness of all kinds of design within the economic and commercial fabric of society. It balances the skills, talents and relative strengths of designers to create both physical and non-physical objects, and their refinement, delivery, and relevancy within a cultural, social and responsible context."
