Founded in 2015 by April Hubal—photographer, entrepreneur, and visionary—Icons of Pittsburgh was created to spotlight the city’s most compelling entrepreneurs, innovators, and one-of-a-kind businesses. From boutique brands to community trailblazers, our platform has always celebrated the movers and shakers shaping Pittsburgh’s cultural and economic landscape.

​

In 2026, we are relaunching with bold new energy and a powerhouse team. April has joined forces with Hannah Maguska, a strategy-driven social media and influencer marketing expert known for her creative edge and data-backed campaigns, and Julie Scharf, a senior marketing professional with decades of experience in brand elevation and business growth.

​

We’re not just bringing Icons back—we’re redefining it. Our mission is to make Icons of Pittsburgh the most dynamic and influential platform in the city, capturing and amplifying the essence of what makes Pittsburgh truly iconic.

Get ready. We’re here to set a new standard—and take the ‘Burgh by storm.
