Our company mascot: A silky terrier name Elly.

Elly is so excited! She won 2nd place in Illinois in a Purina Contest here!

Introducing, Elly, our Silky Terrier company mascot. Elly has been with Sandstorm Design since April 15, 2002. She was 10 weeks old when she began her career as our "official" mascot.

Elly was entered into a Purina contest and took 2nd place in Illinois! You can view her winning photo by clicking here.

Elly's in charge of break time. During breaks she requests a walk around the block, a rub on her belly, or tug-of-war. The fact that Elly demands attention is her greatest strength -- it relieves stress for the rest of the design team and reminds us to have fun!

Elly can sometimes be found sleeping under the chair of a workstation, so watch your feet! At just under 6 pounds it can get pretty tricky not to step on her. And don't leave your receipts at her reach or that valuable tax deduction will be reduced to 1000 pieces.

Elly now has her own email address, please feel free to contact her at elly@sandstormdesign.com. (We're amazed at how popular she has become.) Visit Elly's fellow furry friends here.
