Born in São Paulo state Brazil, Adriano (he/el/ele/they) is a Paulista who proudly embraces the "gambiarra" spirit of alternative engineering and creative workaround. Known as “a dab hand at just about everything,” Botega shines making things work in high stakes situations. He’ll even wire the electric, build the computer, and write the software.

Adriano’s international and award-winning work is at it’s best in service of diverse creative teams and bold new ideas. They thrive guiding and supporting others at any stage of the pipeline.

At play, you can find them gaming with old friends and making MTG decks and proxies. Offline, you can find him with his ambulance — a self-converted studio-on-wheels — where he enjoys diesel mechanics, astral photography, and taking his wife out for D&D and walks in the woods.
