The beginning of a career comes in different packages. Usually, it goes according to plan but for some, they had to adapt and thrive in a rather untoward situation presented to them. For Kelly Hoppen CBE, her career started early in her life because of a tragic event in her family. However, with relentless passion and creativity, Kelly's career in design was born.

With 45 years of experience at the forefront of the design industry, Kelly Hoppen CBE is one of the most celebrated and sought-after interior designers in the world. Kelly's first commission, to design a family friend's kitchen, has led to multiple awards and numerous publishers and businesses continuously seeking her unparalleled expertise.

Success doesn't come on a silver platter, it does not happen overnight, and it involves the ability to rise from failure and the heart to move on. She shares how leadership should be reflected in your company and why authenticity is so important not only to your client but to your people as well. Kelly also shared how she developed a brand that's recognizable on a global scale.
