Gunnur, Understanding User Experience
Gunnur von Matern impressed us not only with her very cool Icelandic name, but with her UX skills. Before joining Gimi, she worked at renowned design agencies Antrop and Creuna.
“I believe in empowering kids with knowledge about different aspects of our society, and finance is one important part of that. Gimi allows kids to experiment with money while educating them in a playful way.”
What drew you to Gimi?
I see immense potential in empowering kids and explaining something so complex and mysterious as finance to them. I have two kids myself, and from a user perspective, it feels like a meaningful challenge to tackle.
What will be your main task at Gimi?
Understanding the needs and challenges our users have. Making the service smoother and the interface more intuitive and fun to interact with!
