Nick Lightbody’s Summary
My passion is for simple efficient and elegant design.
My background in international sailboat racing, followed by 15 years in the legal profession, before founding Deskspace Limited at the beginning of the new millennium, informs my approach to the conception, creation and iterative development of better professional information systems.
This has led to my leading the development of the first viable Framework for the FileMaker Platform. As a result the time required to develop and deploy a professional Information System on the FileMaker platform has been dramatically reduced.
Professional Information systems deal with all the information that we need to know see get and use through our normal day at work.
The user experience is key. Very few users speak highly of the systems that they are obliged to use.
It doesn't have to be this way. The secret is getting the fundamental data structures right then building user interfaces which people can use without training - followed by delivering those systems in a manner that ensures the user suffers no fuss and bother in using them.
