get in touch
Laura Pagley is the Co-Founder and CEO of So Loco, a women-founded lifestyle and gift brand inspired by her own journey through self-doubt, resilience, and personal growth. With a passion for creativity, a natural ability to lead, and an instinct for turning ideas into reality, Laura quickly climbed the corporate ladder, building a successful career in design, product development leadership, and global sourcing. Throughout her career, she led creative teams, developed meaningful industry relationships, and helped bring innovative products to market.
But behind that success was a very different story. Despite her accomplishments, she struggled with imposter syndrome and the lasting effects of workplace bullying and mean-girl behavior, often questioning her own worth and abilities. Becoming a mother to a daughter gave Laura a new perspective. She began thinking about the example she wanted to set and the kind of world she wanted her daughter to grow up in—one where women lift each other up rather than tear each other down. Determined to turn those experiences into something meaningful, Laura took a leap of faith and, alongside her co-founder Sandra, created So Loco, a brand built on creativity, connection, and the power of women supporting women.
