The Odyssey of Naming a New Park
The Downtown Space's Moniker - to be Revealed Monday - is one of `Exploration'
Houston Chronicle
October 15, 2006
The explorer archetype is a powerful theme in classical literature, from Odysseus' quest to find his way home in Homer's Odyssey to the narrator's search for spiritual revelation in Dante's ``Divine Comedy.'' These ideas might seem a bit high-concept for choosing the name of a 12-acre park in downtown Houston, but the people developing the park were determined to select a "brand" that would help forge a strong connection between the park and the community.

A Sporting Chance
Persistence Paid Off For A Freelance Graphic Designer Who Started Small And Gained Big-Time Customer
Houston Chronicle
August 18, 2002
EARLY in his career, when Adam Nisenson was an art director at a local T-shirt company, business began to slump. As a favor to the owner, he offered to work part time and freelance on the side. To Nisenson's surprise, his boss said, "Why don't we make this your last day?" "Why don't we make this my last moment?" said Nisenson as he walked out the door. He did have some freelance experience, but his sudden independence made him nervous. "I remember telling my dad that I couldn't believe what happened," Nisenson said. " `What should I do?' " he asked him. Keep freelancing, his father said. It was good advice. Active Imagination, the design and video production firm he owns with his wife, Beryt Nisenson, has steadily grown, and it has landed some plum accounts.
