Instructor Details

Sakina Khawaja

Hi I’m Sakina owner of FW Luxe- Décor & Lifestyle. I am excited to share my experience and expertise of over 17 years in fashion, media, interior design, entrepreneurship, digital marketing, business specific marketing strategies and most of all my love for the interior design business!

As a professional having worked both in the corporate world as well as having my own business, I know the challenges of both worlds. As individuals there are also the challenges of every day life, family, friends, other commitments that can add to the daily pressures.

I thought about this venture for quite some time. I wanted to provide people who have creative aspirations but do not know how to apply themselves or even go about starting to organise their frame of thought- an avenue that would be ACTIONABLE.

Good basic points to work off of.

By Chinedu Vivian Nwaohiri on 12/7/2022

yes it is a good match however the information tech side of this course is not easy to keep up with. I'm not a tech savy person

By Andie Wise on 12/6/2022

This course helped me to think more broadly about entering into the interior design industry. I now have a lot to think about as I move forward but it is much less daunting!

By Emilia Łuczyk on 9/7/2022

Świetny kurs, wiedza w pigułce ale pomaga się zorientować w prowadzeniu działalności, dobrze ukierunkowuje i pokazuje, jaką wiedzę należy uzupełnić i jak działać

By Afra Mohamed on 9/1/2022

Such an amazing course that totally guided me in my process of Interior Design Business Process! I had questions but this course made them all clear and now I can guarantee that I have the right steps to go further and build on them... Thank you a lot! Enjoyed the lectures :)

By Ogechukwu Benedicta Ezeamama on 7/19/2022

Yes. It just gives an overview of interior design as a business. So you can know where to create a niche for beginners. I like it.

By Norma Lewis on 3/12/2022

I was hoping it would have been more than just her talking throughout the course,, I did get some resources (I need to look at them). She was talking mostly about interior design not interior decorating. That is the class I really needed to buy

By Maria Luisa Bene on 11/20/2021

Corso creato con l'IA, nessuna immagine, nessun esempio reale di applicazione. Solo una lista ripetitiva di concetti letti da una voce IA piatta e fastidiosa. Dopo un quarto del corso ho abbandonato per disperazione.

By Zeynep Arican on 10/30/2021

Nothing much to see but a lot to hear! She explains concepts with examples. Clear sentences. Everything finds it's place in my mind. I found my mistakes and corrected them for professional interior design business. Thanks to this course.

By Marsha Yarde on 9/27/2020

This course was short but very impactful. Presentation and information was excellent. Would definitely take additional courses offered by this instructor.
