Which interior designer joined the BBC's Dragons' Den panel in 2013?

Kelly Hoppen joined the BBC television programme Dragons' Den as an investor in 2013.

Hoppen is an internationally known British interior designer whose style is associated with clean lines, neutral colours and a minimalist approach. She built her design career before appearing on television, working on residential and commercial interiors and publishing books about design.

Her Dragons' Den appointment placed a design specialist on a panel otherwise widely associated with retail, technology, manufacturing and finance. She appeared as a dragon during the programme's eleventh series and evaluated businesses seeking investment and mentoring.

Kelly Hoppen is sometimes confused with Deborah Meaden or Rachel Elnaugh because both are prominent female investors connected with the British series. Meaden was an original regular dragon, while Elnaugh belonged to the early panel; Hoppen joined much later, in 2013.
