Hi Marigold!
Jesse Schell is a game designer and programmer who worked at Disney for a long time. After working with them on designing Disney's Toontown, he formed his own game company, but continued to work with Disney and help develop some of their other games, including Pixie Hollow. (Here's his bio from his company's website, Schell Games.)
He's also a super friendly guy and likes to interact with fans. Other than having answered Neverbelle's PH-related questions on Twitter multiple times, he's also done Toontown Q & A's for Toontown Rewritten.
So, to answer your question: he does not work for Disney, but he worked with Disney to help develop Pixie Hollow and continues to work with Disney to this day (in his Toontown Q&As, he's mentioned how he's kept in contact with Disney and continued to bounce around the idea of bringing back Toontown.) I think it's important to mention that he has never made any guarantees as to whether Toontown or Pixie Hollow is going to come back--you can even see in his most recent tweets with Neverbelle that he qualifies his statements with "if it succeeds." He doesn't make any promises, so I think that if you want to mention him in your blog, it would be kinda important to mention how, even though he talks with Disney, there are no confirmations of anything--just hope.
I hope that makes sense!
