ABOUT US

Who we Are

For years a common stereotype occurs:

“You can’t study art
without gifted talent”.

Mobius Academy challenges that.

Founded in 2018, Mobius Academy specializes in Diploma in Interior Design and Diploma in Digital Illustration with the focus to go beyond traditional art and design education; Mobius Academy aims to ignite and nurture every student’s innate sense of flair and creativity.

However, Art and Design is not just about expressing and being creative.  

In today’s professional landscape, the paramount challenges revolve around talent shortages and the development of competencies. Surprisingly, the issue isn’t solely the scarcity of graduates to meet market demand; the primary concern lies in the graduate’s competencies not fully aligning with the specific requirements of the job market. While technology continues to advance rapidly, human skills often lag behind.

For this reason, Mobius Academy prioritizes equipping our graduates with practical skills that align with current market demands as we believe that it is vital to cultivate the right mindset for a fulfilling career in the art and design industry in Malaysia.

MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

Samuel

SAMUEL SOH

I have always believed that even with the rise and advancement of science and technology nowadays, the only concrete symbol to display human civilization must be art and design.

Science and art may seem to be two different disciplines, but they share the same essence: the exploration of the unknown. Humans are remarkable beings because we have never stopped exploring since the beginning of time. This profound drive has brought us the high level of innovation and technology we enjoy today. Therefore, I truly believe that education has played an important role in this achievement.

Many people believe that learning design requires a certain amount of talent, but I don’t think talent is all that matters. Without proper guidance and training, talent can go to waste. My philosophy in founding a school is to teach without prejudice, a belief that has become both a key motivator and I believe, a challenge for the education scene in Malaysia. As the saying goes, “The best education is to be a role model,” learning can truly be fun, and if all educators embrace this mindset, we can create a future full of infinite possibilities!

One of the reasons that made me choose Mobius Academy is because of the wide variety of subjects they provide, this has also allowed me to express my art style and perform better. Through the one-on-one teaching style in Mobius, lecturers have helped me gain a deeper understanding of the market and expand my skill set.
Sammy
Digital Illustration Student
I really loved looking at artwork by seniors in the classrooms and the corridors. Witnessing their hard work (and late-night efforts haha) inspires me to push myself harder and strive for improvement. I also really loved our lecturers. While they may critique our work (which can be frustrating at times), they are dedicated to guiding and elevating our skills every day. It's really motivating to see their commitment! They’re really friendly and make the classroom environment so enjoyable. I'm grateful for the guidance of my teachers because they've reignited my passion for art. 😉

What attracts me to Mobius is the incredible lecturers, the lecturers here aren't rigid in their approach to teaching. They're down-to-earth, funny, and impart practical knowledge that's incredibly useful. Many of our teachers are highly accomplished interior designers in the market, they often share a lot of valuable experiences with me. I owe much of my success to Mobius Academy, which ensures that I'm always keeping up with the changes in the market.

Daikin Youth Design Competition 2021 - Silver Award

Asia Young Designer Awards AYDA ADWARDS 2020 - Honorary Mention
I think Interior designers are considered to be the jacks-of-all-trades; we need to have a basic understanding in every field to avoid mistakes during the design process. This has also become one of the most valuable lessons I've learned at Mobius. The teachers here educate us and share insights on the inevitable challenges we'll encounter in society, offering advice that helps us avoid hazards.
