Translating dreams and desires into beautiful spaces.
Kelly Hoppen has educated and taught herself with each job she undertook, with no formal training in design. She grew with experience, after her first job — designing the kitchen of a family friend at the age of 16. From that day on, there was no looking back. She went on to design the home of a F1 driver. Kelly believes that word of mouth is a powerful tool because as and when more people saw her work she got more jobs.
The most ambitious thing that she did was leave school to start her own business — a terrifying experience but entirely worth it. Kelly says that she would never leave a design that she was not entirely happy with.
