about me

hi, i’m tulipe! i spent a decade navigating public service, global policy, and storytelling — from UN corridors and U.S. senate offices to studio lots at Netflix, Disney, and HBO. i love farm-to-table cooking, fine dining, long proses, electric guitars, and saxophones. i love fogs, dawns, candlelit french windows, ferryboats, and starry hot spring swims in the cold. i love sailing.

i spent my childhood traveling among singapore, the philippines, india, thailand, bangladesh, indonesia, nepal, china, vietnam, and australia. as an adult, i’ve lived and studied in boston, cambridge, new york city, syracuse, berkeley, and washington, D.C., and i’ve been based in los angeles since 2018.

i speak bengali, hindi, urdu, deeply-broken latin, italian, and german.

the slow philosophy is my field journal for slow, meaningful living.
