My take on life


About McQuillen Interactive

McQuillen Interactive is an interactive design company founded by Daniel McQuillen (read more about me). McQuillen Interactive is based in Fort Collins, CO.

Within any project, my goal is to make information come alive by clarifying, presenting, and activating relevant data. I do this through interactive media, especially Adobe Flex and Flash applications.

A lot of my work centers around green building and building energy simulation, including the COMFEN4 application for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories.

In all my projects I have a strong focus on user experience . . . in essence, I try to make software that is easy, helpful and delightful.

( Speaking of user experience, are you looking for David McQuillen, customer experience guru ? )


Testimonials

"Daniel McQuillen is a superb Flash programmer. We are very pleased with his work on a complicated project. We recommend him highly, and would be pleased to work with him again!"

"The software completed by Mr. McQuillen was sophisticated, user-friendly, and met all aspects of our training needs very well. Perhaps the most impressive work aspect was that Mr. McQuillen could complete such a complex, user-friendly software for us in such a relatively short time frame -- he met our tight deadline admirably! I am very pleased to recommend McQuillen Interactive for any interactive design projects, large and small."

"Working with McQuillen Interactive was a breath of fresh air for us at MUELLER. We had a few other contractors working on other projects with us at the time, and they all gave us headaches while McQuillen Interactive was flexible, on time with assignments, accurate and fair. They made the project easy and manageable."

(This project went on to win a Gold Medal in the prestigious Horizon Interactive Awards ... needless to say, Kyle was happy.)


“We recently bid on work with a large client that really values branding and who brought us to the table for our capabilities and innovative approach. McQuillen Interactive worked with us to strategize, plan and implement our vision for the proposal through an interactive Flash presentation. Our initial impressions were confirmed: McQuillen Interactive is thoughtful, diligent and detailed oriented. The work was delivered on-time and within the alloted budget. The entire process, down to delivering the Flash presentation to our client, was a big success.”
