Kelly Hoppen is the Dragon's Den investor known for her interior-design and upholstery brand.
Hoppen built her reputation as an interior designer and became associated with a restrained style using neutral colours, clean lines and luxurious textures. Her business developed into Kelly Hoppen Interiors, which worked across residential, commercial and product-design projects. She also designed furniture and home products under her name.
Hoppen joined Dragon's Den in 2013 and left the panel after two series. She is sometimes confused with Deborah Meaden because both invested in consumer businesses on the programme, but they have different professional backgrounds. Hoppen's public profile was established primarily through interior design, while Meaden was known for business ownership and investment.
