Kate Locke-Peck

Founder & Designer

From a young age I was always doing something creative that involved painting, designing and building. This is where my passion thrives and still does to this day. Creating something beautiful, meaningful and that has purpose brings endless energy to what I do.   

I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art in 2006 with a BFA in Industrial Design. Throughout my experiences in different industries, I’ve been able to use my degree to influence, develop and continue to grow in specialty areas. From designing physical products ranging from home décor and accessories, to focusing on colors, materials and finishes, my design thinking has expanded throughout the years.  I enjoy product design work, palette creation, color & consumer strategy, finishing applications and trend research.  

After 17 years in corporate design environments, I left my career to focus on family and other creative pursuits. I missed creating and using my design skills day-to-day. I founded Sunset Hill Studio LLC in 2022 to further my design work with my own ethos at the center of it all.
