If anyone calls Jason Amendolara’s product and toy designs silly and immature, he takes it as a compliment. Having joined the Rhode Island-based company Easy Aces Inc. in 1996, he first worked as a product and packaging designer for the Club Earth brand and later became a design director at Easy Aces. In 2005 Amendolara helped develop the Fred product line and now directs a talented studio of designers in creating fun and interactive home, office and lifestyle products and accessories. His designs have been featured on the Tonight Show, The Today Show and Good Morning America, and in The New York Times, Food and Wine Magazine and numerous other domestic and international publications. Amendolara lives with his family in Barrington, RI.
