My power strip design, now called   Pivot Power, is available for sale at Quirky.com.

I am Jake Zien, designer and programmer, and you have found your way to my portfolio website. At the moment, I am working for a startup designing user interfaces, which, with any luck, you'll hear about later this year. I find inspiration in quantum physics, nostalgia, wit + whimsy, the capacity to surprise and delight, jazz + electronic music, object-oriented programming, vernacular typography, and great cheeseburgers.

My concept for a redesign of the conventional power strip.

With the help of Quirky.com and its community of influencers, Pivot Power, an evolved version of this idea, is now available for purchase.

Pivot Power has raised media attention. You may read about it at Wired, Core77, Engadget, CrunchGear, and others. You can also learn more about Quirky and watch me describe Pivot Power in this video.
