Which designer became a Dragon on the UK television series Dragon's Den in 2013?

Kelly Hoppen became a Dragon on the UK television series Dragon's Den in 2013.

Hoppen is a British designer known for interior design and for a style associated with clean lines, neutral colours and a blend of Eastern and Western influences. Her design background brought a different professional perspective to a panel otherwise widely associated with retail, finance, technology and leisure.

She joined the programme after the original Dragons and after Deborah Meaden had already become a prominent female investor. Her appearance therefore belongs to a later period of the show's history, when the panel had become more changeable.

Hoppen's name is sometimes confused with other female Dragons because the programme has featured several women across different eras. The key identifying detail is her design career: she was recruited as an investor with expertise in creating and marketing interiors and lifestyle products.
