My name is Faiza Jabeen. I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design in 2014, and I wish to thank all of you at Warnborough for your support. It is great to see what Warnborough has accomplished since I left!
At Warnborough College, the skillsets I accomplished stand me out in the crowd. From discipline to creativity to entirely being myself, I have excelled in all phases of my life after graduation. I feel more confident and choosing Warnborough has polished and fed my entrepreneurial soul.
I have worked as a freelancer and have been given various opportunities at government-organized workshops in Lahore, Pakistan. This experience with the foundation of knowledge our institution provided us has drastically changed my approach toward life. Today, I have successfully launched my own business called The Trendy House by Faiza which is dedicated to exquisite handmade home decor products of premium quality.
