I am Cristian Estrella, an octopus born in Buenos Aires and currently based in Europe. I love to explore the interplay between different areas of communication: music, video editing, radio, graphic design and the beauty of nature. I have a true passion for interconnecting, working closely with other colleagues involved in creative projects - examples being a band, a t-shirt company, a record label, and online radio. I am excited by the possibilities of constant change and development, research and tools. My priority and end goal is always quality within cooperation.
