Caro Freinberg

Graphic Designer

Caro's background is in environmental biology, veterinary nursing, and visual art. In 2021, she started drinking kratom tea to help with discomfort from work-related strains. One year later, she became the graphic designer at Top Tree Herbs, a small kratom tea bag co. Since she was first introduced to kratom, Caro has been deeply frustrated by the amount of misinformation that exists about kratom in the media and within the industry. Her goal is to use research, writing, and design to help people understand kratom science and destigmatize kratom (as well as other plants and compounds).
