Pia Hovenga - Senior Graphic Designer

Viva Iowa! is one project of which I am proud. I took the initiative to propose a newspaper in Spanish for the Hispanic-readership in a community where non-English readers are a significant percent of the population. As the publication director for Viva Iowa! I bring editorial ideas, perform interviews, translate news from English to Spanish, create ads, design and compose the layout of the newspaper, send it to print and distribute.

Viva Iowa! is a 2017 award wining Community Leadership Project by the Iowa Newspaper Association.
