Kelly Hoppen is the founder of the design brand Kelly Hoppen Interiors.
Hoppen is a British interior designer whose work is associated with a minimalist style combining neutral colours, clean lines and elements inspired by Eastern design. She built Kelly Hoppen Interiors as a design business covering interiors, products and related licensing opportunities.
She appeared as a dragon on Dragon's Den from 2013 to 2015. Her role brought a design-focused perspective to a panel otherwise often dominated by retail, technology, food and finance backgrounds. She later continued her career through interior projects, product collections and media work.
The brand name is sometimes treated as if it refers only to a decorating style, but it is also the name of Hoppen's design business. Kelly Hoppen should not be confused with Deborah Meaden, who was another prominent female dragon but built her reputation primarily through business investment and leisure-sector companies.
