Suna Lock
Suna moved to the US in 2003 and started Stripe Design Group in 2005 after selling her design practice in the UK. Having navigated a massive down turn in the economy in 2007 - when she decided to open the Stripe retail shop on Walnut Avenue to keep herself busy - Suna has continued to nurture her love of interior design.
Today sees Stripe Design Services as a strong contender in the marketplace and a business that continues to grow and give back to the local community. When she is not at Stripe, Suna is cooking with her children, running in Wilder Ranch State Park, or plotting home improvement projects with her partner.
