Denver
Business Journal recognizes adjunct professor Honored and humbled by the recognition, Otero's first reaction to the news was shock. "I felt I didn't deserve it," he said. "I'm early in my career and new to Denver (within the last six years), and there is so much more I want to accomplish and do for the city." The graphic designer was nominated by one of his clients because of his creative talent and the work he does on behalf of local nonprofit organizations. Otero says he tries to teach his clients the value of design, that it's not just about creating a product, it's a method for solving problems. A graduate of the Art Institute of Boston, Otero has worked for several design agencies and now has his own company, Art & Anthropology, which specializes in a broad spectrum of design work, including promotional design, book cover design and graphic identity. Otero teaches typography at Metro and says he enjoys the creative process and energy of the students. What's his favorite part of being in the classroom? "The moment when students realize the power of design as a cultural force," he said.
