About Christina Trout
Hi, I\'m Christina. I\'m a creative director, brand whisperer, and chaos coordinator—with a serious thing for design and cannabis packaging.With 15+ years of design and marketing experience (and zero tolerance for bad kerning), I lead branding and creative at Farmer Group, home to some of New York’s top cannabis brands: Florist Farms, Head & Heal, Tune, and Blotter. I’ve worked everywhere from indie cafés to national agencies, built a creative team, and managed everything from multi-channel campaigns to last-minute label crises.I speak fluent strategy, design, and emojis, whether I’m directing a shoot, wrangling freelancers, or mapping out our next brand rollout.In short, I make things look good and work even better.
