Urso Chappell’s Summary

My broad experience includes both online and print graphic design in mostly marketing environments, particularly in the areas of identity and branding. I also have experience and interest in cartography and environmental graphics.

My lifelong passion for international expositions (world's fairs) led me to create ExpoMuseum.com in 1998 and work on other expo-related projects, such as The Expo Book and Expo 2005's Linimo train.

Looking for design/marketing/communication opportunities, especially related to Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China; Expo 2012 in Yeosu, Korea; and Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy.
