HI, I’M NICHOLE DAVIS (FORMALLY GORDON)
A nature-loving homesteader and self-diagnosed introvert, I’m also an interior designer with a passion for streamlined, efficient processes.
Before launching Fresh By Design Interiors, I spent nearly a decade mastering the technical side of design through hands-on experience.
Frustrated by outdated construction methods, I founded Fresh By Design to offer a seamless blend of interior and kitchen design under one practical roof.
When I’m not designing, I’m either enjoying our 1920s English bungalow in Central Hawkes Bay or exploring New Zealand with Matt.
Design is where function and beauty meet to create spaces that tell your story.

5 FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

I worked in hospo from ages 14 - 18 so getting to know ‘strangers’ is kind of a talent of mine, and one I enjoy.
My favourite room to design is a bathroom - clients tend to be bolder with bathrooms which often leads to super personalised designs.
Autumn is my favourite season simply for the colour palettes it produces. I also use a lot of these tones as inspiration in my own home.
I am terrified of heights, so when I was in the Swiss Alps I decided to paraglide off them - it was one of the best things I have ever done.
If I didn’t pursue Interior Design, I would have applied for law school. The deciding factor was that I needed to finish high school for law, and I left early.
