Founded in 2022 by Anna Kankanala, Anna Devi is a lifestyle media platform that delivers travel, food, culture and millennial thought-based content to readers. AD strives to inspire visitors to add richness and thought to their lives. We’re honored you’re here and hope you stay awhile.
Our commitment to equality and environmentalism is foundational to AD’s values.
In 2022, Anna moved from Michigan to Seattle with her husband, Nick, and dog, Leia. By day she works in tech and by night and weekends, she runs AD. Anna is an avid adventurer and traveler, home-cook, self-proclaimed restaurant connoisseur, and dog lover. While Anna calls herself a “typical MBA,” with a sales and marketing focused career, she uses AD to connect her back to her passion for writing (she was a philosophy major in undergrad).
Leia is a long-haired, youthful GSD that provides executive assistant services to Anna. When she's not keeping her mom safe from neighborhood cats, she can be found adventuring in the Cascade Mountains, swimming in Lake Washington, or chilling at a brewery.
