Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoyed my work. My name is Appanna Chetranda
and I'm an Associate Creative Director/Writer living in Toronto, Canada.
A couple of decades ago, on my way to becoming an engineer, 
I realized it entailed wearing formal wear. Ew.
That led me to advertising, and led engineers everywhere to breathe a sigh of relief.
I’m an observer, thinker, and problem-solver, and I've spent most days putting those skills
to work for brands and causes. Lately, these have included big brands like Canadian Tire, Bell,
TD Bank and AAA, as well as non-profits like Daily Bread,
Centre for Young Black Professionals and MOCA. 


The rest of my time is spent watching movies, captaining a soccer team,
and trying to predict the next big meme coin.
My work has been recognized in award shows locally and internationally,
but the real win is working with smart, creative people who
teach me something new every day.
