From her earliest days, Paula was immersed in a vibrant world of creativity, lending a helping hand to her artist mother in Covent Garden during the lively 1970s. Surrounded by inspiring sights, sounds and artistic energy, it was only natural for Paula’s passion for the arts to flourish. She honed her craft, earning a specialist Knitwear Degree at Middlesex, before embarking on a distinguished career as a senior knitwear designer for some of the UK’s top fashion firms.

Driven by a lifelong dream, Paula launched Cocoon&me - her very own brand dedicated to crafting beautiful, thoughtful pieces for creative souls who value both quality and responsibility. Cocoon&me champions the joy of making, hosting intimate workshops and offering expertly designed textile kits and patterns. Whether you’re crafting solo or with friends, Paula’s mission is to help you discover the therapeutic, fulfilling pleasure of making your own unique, stylish creations together.
