Hi, I'm Orhan.

​

I am a visual storyteller and digital strategist based in Toronto.

 

My background is a blend of humanitarian discipline and creative freedom. Before moving to Canada, I spent over 10 years working within the United Nations system in Türkiye, serving with UNICEF, UNHCR, WFP, and FAO. My career evolved from IT Operations to Information Management where I learned that accurate data saves lives, but powerful stories change minds. This belief led me to complete my PhD in Communication Design and Management.

​

After the earthquake in February 2023, my family and I relocated to Canada to start a new chapter. Since then, I have been working as a freelancer. I combine the technical precision of my UN background with a fresh, creative perspective in video and design. I understand the weight of a mission and the importance of getting the message right.

​

Off the clock, I am a father to Can and Kuzey, and a husband who feels like the sock that finally found its pair. I have been a basketball player since high school where Kobe remains the greatest of all time for me, and Robert De Niro is the king of the screen. I believe in sincerity over status and listening more than speaking. I might look serious, but I am usually the first to crack a joke. And yes, I still claim I can beat anyone in FIFA.

 

I am ready to bring my experience, my camera, and my UN DNA to a team that values both impact and creativity.
