About Creative Studio Learning Hub

Empowering the next generation of creative professionals in Sri Lanka through innovative education, practical skills, and industry expertise.

Our Mission

To bridge the gap between creative passion and professional success by providing world-class education in design and photography. We believe every individual has the potential to create meaningful visual stories that resonate with audiences and drive impact.

Our Vision

To become Sri Lanka's premier destination for creative education, where students develop not just technical skills but also the creative confidence and professional mindset needed to thrive in the global creative economy.

Our Story

Founded in 2020 by a collective of passionate designers and educators, Creative Studio Learning Hub emerged from a simple observation: while Sri Lanka has tremendous creative talent, there was a significant gap between traditional education and the practical skills needed in today's digital-first creative industry.

What started as informal workshops in a small studio in Colombo has evolved into a comprehensive educational platform serving students across Sri Lanka. Our founders, having worked with international brands and agencies, recognized the need for education that combines artistic fundamentals with cutting-edge digital tools and real-world application.

Today, we're proud to have graduated over 500 students who are making their mark in agencies, startups, and as successful freelancers. Our approach combines the best of traditional creative education with modern technology and industry insights, ensuring our graduates are ready to compete globally while staying rooted in their cultural identity.
