Kelly Hoppen is known for founding the interior-design brand Kelly Hoppen Interiors.
Kelly Hoppen built a career in interior design and became associated with a style using neutral colours, clean lines and a blend of contemporary and traditional influences. Her design business and public profile made her a recognised creative entrepreneur before she joined Dragon's Den.
She served as an investor on the programme, bringing expertise in design, branding and premium consumer products. That background differed from the financial and retail experience of several other Dragons.
The name “Kelly Hoppen Interiors” identifies the design business and should not be confused with a single room collection or a television series. Hoppen has also worked on product collaborations and home-related ranges, but those are distinct from the founding of her core interior-design brand.
