Francis Raymond’s Summary

Recently started a career in social media/link building/SEO. Those fields are very close to my personal interests. I'm pretty much self-taught and am still learning a great deal. More details on my blog at:
http://www.francisraymond.com

I have acquired eclectic and varied experiences in the work market in the past ten years while being a full-time student. I've spent 2 years working for Joanna Berzowska and her XS Labs at Concordia University. I have acquired very specialized knowledge of electronics and new technologies, and how to integrate them in a soft way to textiles. I have also specialized in digital/online work through my studies at Concordia university. I am more oriented towards fine arts, though I feel comfortable working with social medias and other online mediums.
