Kelly Hoppen founded the interior-design company Kelly Hoppen Interiors.
Hoppen is a British interior designer known for a design style built around clean lines, neutral colours and an East-meets-West influence. She established her interior-design business as a teenager and later worked on residential, commercial and aviation projects.
Her business background shaped her role as a Dragon's Den investor. She brought experience in design, branding and premium consumer products to pitches, particularly when entrepreneurs presented products for the home or lifestyle markets.
Kelly Hoppen Interiors should not be confused with a property-development company. Hoppen's core field is interior design, although her work has extended into furniture, homewares, books and collaborations.
