If your parents name you Promise, be prepared for a life of slipups, misnomers and downright hilarious butchering as people fumble to recall your name. &#8220;People mix that up all the time, calling me different names like Passion, Patience, Precious&#8230;&#8221; said Valley-based photographer/designer/artist extraordinaire Promise Tangeman. &#8220;My favorite ones are Flower, Surprise and Poison,&#8221; she [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Riding my bike is often my daily dose of Zen,&#8221; says green artist Matt Mays, â€œI get to see, hear, taste and smell everything around me. I&#8217;m vulnerable, humbled and, at times, aggravated all at once by traffic. Cars isolate us from each other, and help to create cities that don&#8217;t work for their community.&#8221;

As an architect, Richard Doria has always had his eye on the horizon. Now as a developer and builder, that zest for wanting to be apart of something larger than simply bricks and mortar, has only grown larger. Wanting to add on to the growing bastion of ideas and aspirations under the umbrella of Doria [...]]]></description>

Kermit the Frog may believe &#8220;it&#8217;s not easy being green&#8221;, but Phoenix visionary Mick Dalrymple, partner in the Scottsdale retail venture, a.k.a. Green, whose business card includes the challenge &#8220;Evolve; Be Green&#8221;, believes that &#8220;green&#8221; is essential to the future prosperity &#8211; and even survival &#8211; of Phoenix. 
For Dalrymple, green means a Phoenix in which [...]]]></description>

This just in: signs of modern urban living and eco-coexistence in North Scottsdale. Stuck in the middle of the airpark&#8217;s Eurofab leather couch craze and eccentric lighting boutiques sits Natural Territory, a refreshing and exciting confirmation that our green future does not have to be anti hip.

Artistic inspiration can be found in any geographic location, even in a modest West Phoenix home. Jason Rudolph Peña, who grew up in &#8220;the avenues&#8221;, was influenced by artistically minded parents early on, but growing up, other influences were at play.

Forward Thinker: David Wallach
Whether described as on the cutting edge, ahead of their time or simply visionaries, our ever-evolving Valley hosts a few brave souls who are casting the mold that will shape the future of our burgeoning megalopolis.
Meet David Wallach, the &#8220;W&#8221; behind W Developments. Wallach, a developer from Chicago, took a chance on [...]]]></description>
