About C Jo Ferrer

Hi, I’m Christen Jo Ferrer.  I want to introduce myself because I am new to Canada.  I grew up in Illinois, but have lived in Tennessee since 2000.  I came to Canada when borders opened up to siblings of citizens.  My sister lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  I came to visit back in 2018, and absolutely fell in love with Nova Scotia!  Fun fact, I have a poem entitled, “Love Letter to Halifax,” that is published in Sonder Travel Magazine. 

​

Speaking of loves, I have many.  I graduated in 2007 with a degree in Apparel Merchandising.  I always had a passion for sketching, fashion, business, art, and writing.  After graduation, I started fashion styling for bands and doing a fashion blog.  I worked in a corporate setting in tech support doing manual writing and even helping develop products.  However, a typical desk job was not right for me.  Then, I became a freelance fashion stylist full time.  This led me to work on pilots, commercials, photo shoots, runway shows, fashion weeks, and even a movie.  During this time, I started working as a dessert stylist for photo shoots, web content, tv shows, and demonstrations.  I have worked for Food Network, Discovery Channel, and HGTV.
