Hi! My name is Christopher Trout — like the fish.
I’m the co-founder of an award-winning creative studio called The Grass Agency. Last year we launched The Bakery, a head shop and home fragrance line. I do a lot of things – writing, editing, scent blending, brand strategy, creative direction – but I live to tell stories.
I spent seven years at Engadget, one of the world's most popular technology publications, working my way up from per-post blogger to EiC. While I was there I founded an award-winning digital magazine, managed a 24-hour global newsroom, and launched a $500,000 grant + interactive event for the immersive arts.
My column and web series, Computer Love, which details the growing intimacy between humans and machines, has reached more than 25 million viewers worldwide. I also co-hosted and produced Rec’d, a podcast about the aftermath of cannabis legalization in California.
You can read my work in Gossamer, BUTT, and Upon Paper; see my face on Dr. Oz and the BBC World Service Russia; and hear my voice on New York Magazine’s Sex Lives podcast. Here are some publications that have mentioned my work: OUT, Vox, Glamour, Slate, Variety, The Advocate, Surface, Cool Hunting, Jane, and The Broccoli Report.
