Kelly Hoppen was the professional interior designer who joined Dragon's Den in 2013.
Hoppen is known for a design style built around clean lines, neutral colours and an East-meets-West influence. She established a successful interior-design career long before appearing as an investor on television.
She joined the UK programme in 2013, bringing a creative-industry background to a panel otherwise known for businesses in areas such as retail, technology, leisure and manufacturing. Her career is therefore an important clue when distinguishing her from other female Dragons.
Hoppen later left the regular panel. Sara Davies, who is associated with craft products, and Deborah Meaden, who is associated with investments across several consumer businesses, are separate investors with different professional backgrounds.
