"Meet The Artist Behind The Pins"
 

Mark Seppala

Mark is a Senior Graphic Designer for Walt Disney Parks & Resorts. He began drawing at around five years old and got totally involved with Disney characters and Walt Disney at that time. From five to the present he had always dreamed of working for Disney either as an animator or an artist in some capacity. After 3 years in art school, 4 years in the Navy, jobs as a graphic artist, art director, and background artist and animator for television spots and animated educational segments, he finally landed a role at Walt Disney Parks & Resorts as General Manager of the art department. He has been with Disney over 10 years and hopes to continue his career for another 20, if possible. As Mark says, "I pinch myself everyday I come to work, I still can't believe I work for Disney and work with the many talented people in our department!" During the past few years his expertise in the designing of pins has more than doubled. Its great to come up with new and innovative ideas for our pin strategy. Some of the pins that Mark has worked on are as follows:
