I’m a professional designer with 8 years of experience, specializing in Digital Product Design. I’ve cultivated a skill set in design thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and technical skills in the pursuit of user-centered enterprise software solutions.I’m dedicated to delivering impactful solutions that not only meet user needs but exceed their expectations.
Independent Exploration
Building a Miniature Hobbyist Painting tool with AI
Miniature painters rely on intuition, scattered recipes, and trial and error. I wanted to explore whether a tool could support that creative process without flattening it—whether data and color science could enhance experimentation instead of replace it.
Paint Forge uses perceptual color modeling (LAB + ΔE) to make mixing and matching measurable. But the goal was never automation. The goal was confidence—helping painters, especially beginners, move faster while staying in control of their creative decisions.

Hello, I’m Tiko Nelson and I’m a Digital Product Designer.
Download My Resume
I'm a senior product designer with 8 years of experience in enterprise software, most of it at JPMorgan Chase. I've owned UX across platforms serving tens of thousands of users, run research programs that shaped product strategy, and operated as the sole designer on multi-cycle deliveries in regulated, high-stakes environments.
I do my best work in organizations where design has real problems to solve, complex workflows to unpack, competing stakeholder needs, and systems that have to work for everyone from front-line employees to senior leadership.
