Casey Thorne
M.S. Human-Computer Interaction, Stanford University Project Lead – UX Recovery Systems. Casey is a graduate researcher focused on Web3 user safety, behavioral wallet modeling, and interface trust design. Prior to Stanford, Casey worked at ConsenSys, contributing to MetaMask onboarding UX flows and co-authoring internal papers on decentralized identity. Their current work explores “seed phrase entropy perception” in cold recovery contexts. 🧪 Prev: MetaMask Labs · UC Berkeley Cognitive Science ✉️ casey@walletux.study.edu.ai

Fatima Al-Khatib
UI/UX Research Fellow – KAUST Blockchain Initiative Visual Systems Researcher – Seed Entry Interfaces. Fatima focuses on micro-interaction design and visual cue response in wallet interfaces. Her thesis explores how interface styling affects user risk perception when entering sensitive data like seed phrases. She previously led an open-source redesign of mobile-first multisig interfaces for crypto refugees in MENA regions. 🎨 Prev: UNICEF Innovation Fund · Rainbow Wallet Contributor 🧕 Pronouns: she/her ✉️ fatima@walletux.study.edu.ai
