It has been an amazing week for our development team at DrupalCon Chicago 2011. We absorbed Dries Buytaert’s keynote, mingled with other Drupal 7 developers, danced to a song about Drupal (not kidding!), and attended session after session on topics like theming, design, user experience, implementation and configuration. We had a blast and learned a lot!

We’re so proud that Chicago got to host the Drupal conference this year. And we’re so grateful to all those who made DrupalCon Chicago a success. Most of all, we’re looking forward to the future of Drupal, which is only looking brighter and brighter!

Sandstorm Design is so excited to welcome Derek Vander Laan, Senior Designer. Derek is the newest addition to the creative team and comes to us with an extensive range of experience. Besides his most recent design work at McDonald’s, he’s also done marketing, branding, exhibit, retail, packaging, POP, digital, and interactive design. He is a self-proclaimed movie nerd, and can school anybody in what he calls “useless” trivia.

Welcome Derek! We’re so thrilled to work with you!
