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 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!
