Hi, I’m Utku Şenbayrak — a humanitarian professional, media & communication specialist, and a visual storyteller driven by curiosity and compassion.
For over nine years, I’ve worked for Türkiye, Ukraine, and the broader MENA and ECA regions, moving between field missions and creative studios to craft stories that matter. From leading cross-border communications for IOM to designing donor campaigns and launching VR-powered awareness projects, my work lives at the intersection of strategy, design, and empathy.
Currently, I serve as National Communications Officer for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) mission of Türkiye, where I oversee multimedia production, donor visibility, and team leadership — translating complex humanitarian realities into powerful, human-centered narratives.
I tell stories not just with words, but with images, sound, motion, and data. Whether it’s a social campaign, a field report, or an infographic that helps someone understand a crisis more deeply, I believe in the power of storytelling to connect people to purpose.
With a background in fine arts and a mind wired for systems, I thrive where creativity meets impact — and where design becomes a tool for dignity, clarity, and change.
This space is where it all comes together — the humanitarian, the designer, the storyteller.
Let’s connect — I’m always open to meaningful collaborations.
