Which designer became an investor on the British programme Dragon's Den in 2013?

Kelly Hoppen became an investor on the British programme Dragon's Den in 2013.

Hoppen is a British designer known for an interior-design style built around clean lines, neutral colours and a blend of Eastern and Western influences. Her career included residential and commercial interiors, furniture and design products before her television investment role.

She joined Dragon's Den in 2013, bringing a design and branding perspective to a panel often associated with finance, retail, manufacturing and technology. That background was relevant to entrepreneurs whose products depended on presentation, visual identity, customer experience or premium positioning.

Hoppen's appointment should not be confused with the arrival of Sara Davies, who joined later in 2019, or with Deborah Meaden's earlier entry in 2006. The year identifies Hoppen's period as a dragon rather than the date she began her design career.
