Which Dragon is the founder of the British design brand Kelly Hoppen Interiors?

The story behind the answer

Kelly Hoppen is the founder of the British design brand Kelly Hoppen Interiors.

Hoppen began her interior-design career as a teenager and developed a signature style built around clean lines, neutral colours and a blend of contemporary and traditional influences. Kelly Hoppen Interiors became the name associated with her design work, products and licensing activities.

She joined Dragons' Den as an investor in the eleventh series. Her expertise differed from that of Dragons whose careers were primarily in retail, manufacturing or finance: Hoppen approached pitches through design, branding, presentation and the customer experience.

Hoppen is sometimes described simply as a furniture designer, but her career has covered complete interior schemes, commercial projects, product collections and design education. Her company name is also distinct from the businesses in which she invested on television, so the answer is the Dragon herself rather than a pitch brand.
