1. 1st place - 30 votes - David Avila
Bio: I am a native Texan with a Graphic Design background
who married a Pastry Chef. She studies Natural Organic local
ingredients which made me aware of where food comes
from. It totally changed the way I eat. This led me to design
a Food App called "iDave" for the iPhone 4S. Designed with
Siri in mind, "iDave" is a visual food app that features my
favorite local cuisine. Select one of my
recommendations, give Siri the address and you'll be guided
to a location where you will experience fresh, local Austin
food at it's finest. Go Local, e my friends.

3. 2nd place - 19 votes - Margot Rochon
Bio: Margot Rochon first came to Austin, Texas on a scholastic field-trip
as a sophomore of San Antonio's Burbank High School. By this time in
her life, Margot had already visited many cities across the U.S.--from
Washington D.C. to San Diego, California--but she immediately knew
that there was just something different about Austin. This was, in fact,
her first experience with love at first sight. Although she was uncertain
what she wanted "to be" when she grew up, she was entirely
convicted that it was going to start with enrollment at the University of
Texas at Austin. In the fall of 2000, Margot (thrilled to be resettled in
Austin at last!) enrolled at UT Austin where studied Radio, Television,
and Film while living in the local co-ops. Following her tenure at UT,
she worked for two years in live music video production for the now
defunct Austin Music Network and currently works in Media Services
for the local community college, ACC.
Having picked up a crayon to draw pictures before she could even spell
her name, Margot has had a life-long love of all things art and has
dabbled in several artistic mediums--in particular she enjoys life
drawing, painting, and graphic design. Recently, her interests in art,
technology, and the emergent landscape of social media in the digital
age came to a crossroads with the opportunity to design a logo for the
Austin chapter of Social Media Club (SMC). Having researched other
SMC chapter logos, Margot decided to pursue a somewhat
conservative aesthetic approach--one that did not stray far from the
established logo aesthetic of most chapters, but that still captured
iconic elements unique to the city she has called home since the dawn
of the new millennium.
When not playing around with media and/or the web, Margot can be
found walking her dog along Ladybird Lake (which she still thinks of as
Town Lake) or munching on a Brushfire taco at Torchy's.

5. 3rd place - 15 votes – Rennie Palmer
Bio: I've been a professional graphic designer for more than 10 years.
(Here's a link to my graphic design portfolio if you're interested in
checking out some of what I do:
http://www.coroflot.com/rennie_palmer). In addition to working part-
time for a small shipping and printing business in Round Rock, I also
freelance as a graphic designer. I moved from New Orleans to Austin
with my husband in mid 2011. Only a few years earlier I had made the
big move to the USA from Australia to marry my husband.
One of the chief reasons my husband and I moved to Austin is its great
reputation for being so small-business friendly. That’s perfect for the
small start-up publishing business we launched upon arrival
(www.littlefrogpublishing.com). We have already taken advantage of
many free or low-cost seminars, workshops, clubs (including the Social
Media Club), and networking meet-ups. We love it here and we're
enjoying the ride, wherever it takes us!

News for 8 years before going back to school
to make a career change. My interest is in web
design and web content. I also have a passion
for logo and branding campaign designs as
well. I chose Austin as my home because of the
challenging opportunities, the diverse culture
of people, and the remarkable environment.
