Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Michael Elizarraraz

I am a Product Designer pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Design Media Arts from UCLA, graduating in June 2024. For the past two years, I have participated in projects encompassing interaction design, data analysis, UX research, game dev, and creative coding.

My Career so far

During my Product Design Internship at Tinder in 2022, I helped ship features that drove user growth and revenue, including: "Just For You" and "Spotify Premium for Tinder Subscribers."

I rejoined Tinder in the summer of 2023 as a Trust & Safety Product Design Intern. I launched an internal component library to assist designers in delivering features more efficiently, helping users stay safer both within and outside the app.
