After living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 12 years, Otto recently relocated to New York. "The east coast has proven to be a whole new frontier," he says. "It can seem a little intimidating at times, and the biggest challenge is surviving long enough to buy the time to both develop my craft and build the network needed to properly establish myself. Platforms like Wescover help accelerate my research on what's being done where, and by whom, to quickly get a sense of the differences in the market, while providing another means to connect to the people that have yet to discover my work."
