Eda KaraEda Kara (aka Eda Uzuncakara)'s life has unfolded on the bridges of existence-between logic and creativity, corporate intensity and mindful presence, Istanbul and New York, English and Turkish.Majoring in Industrial Engineering at Boğaziçi Universityand holding a Master's degree from Stevens Institute of Technology, along with additional credentials from Harvard Business School, she has built a career in finance and technology leadership. Her path includes key roles at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan in New York and at Mastercard in Istanbul.Through Bistrouge, the restaurant she opened in Manhattan, she encountered the city's layered intersections-an experience that enriched her not only as an entrepreneur but as a human being.Alongside the corporate and entrepreneurial world, she nurtured a parallel devotion to poetry, storytelling, meditation, yoga, and expressive arts-exploring how data-driven structures can soften into intuition, imagination, and breath.She is the author of Jumping on the Drips, a collection of interwoven stories; the novel Shared Pulse: Love and Transformation in a City of Crossings; and the poetry collection, Mismatched Socks, published in English and Turkish as Varla Yok Arasından Şiirler: Sessiz Senfoni.She is also the mother of a daughter finding her own way in the world-a parallel journey that keeps teaching Eda about love, wonder, courage, and the quiet art of becoming.Eda's curiosity lives where algorithms meet emotion, where imperfection becomes possibility, and where the smallest moments crack the heart open again. Through her workshops on creativity and self discovery, she accompanies others in their own cycles of remembering-using storytelling in various forms as a compass, mirror, and gentle invitation.Her work continues to explore transformation in liminal spaces-between worlds, between breaths-seeking the shared pulse beneath it all.
