Which Dragon's Den investor is known internationally as an interior designer?

The story behind the answer

Kelly Hoppen is the Dragon's Den investor known internationally as an interior designer.

Hoppen built a career designing residential and commercial interiors and became associated with a signature style often described through neutral colours, clean lines and understated luxury. Her design work made her a prominent business figure before her television appearances.

She joined the BBC programme as an investor during its later panel line-ups. Her professional background differs from that of Dragons whose main reputations came from retail, technology, recruitment or leisure businesses.

Deborah Meaden and Sara Davies are also prominent female Dragons, but neither is the internationally recognised interior designer identified by this question. Kelly Hoppen is the specific name connected with that design career.
