The Creative Revolution
A Dream That Started Small
In 2005, AMDT School of Creativity was born out of a simple yet profound belief: Creativity has the power to transform lives, industries, and the future of our nation.
Two visionary creative entrepreneurs set out to challenge a mindset that had held back generations; the notion that creative people couldn’t build successful, fulfilling careers. From that bold ambition, AMDT School of Creativity emerged as a pioneering force, dedicated to proving that imagination, innovation, and artistry can change lives and shape the future.
We founded AMDT School of Creativity to be more than a school
At a time when creativity was undervalued and often dismissed as a hobby, we envisioned something different. We saw a future where young dreamers could turn their passion into purpose, their ideas into impact.
We believed, and still believe, that creativity is not a luxury. It is a necessity. That the world doesn’t just need more designers, filmmakers, illustrators, and innovators. It needs more thinkers, problem-solvers, rebels, and makers who can re-imagine what’s possible.

Along the way, we’ve created a legacy of remarkable firsts,
The first dedicated School of Creativity in Sri Lanka, igniting a passion for creative careers and daring entrepreneurship.
The first to bridge the worlds of business and creativity, empowering visionaries to turn ideas into impact.
The first to open doors for Sri Lankan talent to shine on a global stage, the first to introduce groundbreaking creative courses that transformed lives, and
The first to forge partnerships with one of the world’s top 50 creative schools. Together, we haven’t just made history; we’ve redefined what’s possible.
A Legacy Still Unfolding
Today, our story is written every day by our students, alumni, and staff who embody our values of curiosity, courage, and craft.
Nearly two decades later, our impact is visible in the success stories of our alumni, the growth of Sri Lanka’s creative industries, and the cultural shift that now recognises creativity as a force for progress.
From solo entrepreneurs building their own brands to award-winning Creatives, ‘AMDT School of Creativity’ graduates are shaping industries and inspiring the next generation.
But no matter how far we’ve come, our purpose remains the same: To empower people to imagine, create, and lead.
The Future We Are Creating
As the world evolves, so do we. AMDT School of Creativity is dedicated to staying at the forefront of creative education – where creativity meets computing, design meets purpose, and imagination drives real-world impact.
We are building a community where diversity, curiosity, and collaboration thrive.
Because creativity doesn’t stand still. And neither do we.
