Firuze Gokce

Experienced entrepreneur and marketing strategist Firuze Gokce has been leading ventures since 2000. Her first web project, “Exhibition of Grand Anatolia,” was acquired by the Turkish Government, marking the start of a dynamic career. She co-founded three startups, gained international recognition as a judge for the Affiliate Marketing Awards, and earned honors from Affiliates4u and other global industry leaders. Her influence in affiliate marketing has led to international invitations and accolades. After relocating to California, Firuze discovered a new passion for marine conservation. She actively supports nonprofits such as the American Cetacean Society, BayQuest, Orcasound, and Sustainable Ocean Alliance, combining her love for the ocean with her artistic talent. A lifelong artist, Firuze channels her creativity to advocate for the protection of whale species and marine ecosystems. Firuze debuted her art show, Whale Sounds on a Canvas, on May 23, 2024. She participated in the Sebastopol Art Center’s “Art Trails” program and the Art Star Gala Silent Auction. Her work, inspired by the ethereal beauty of whale sound waves and spectrograms, transforms acoustic patterns into vibrant visual expressions. These abstract artworks reflect the rhythmic complexity of marine sounds, bridging the auditory and visual worlds. Blending scientific observation with artistic abstraction, Firuze’s art evokes a sense of wonder and connection with marine life. Her pieces serve as a visual interpretation of the ocean’s soundscapes, fostering appreciation for the unseen melodies of the sea and inspiring audiences to reflect on the mysteries of the marine world.
