#24 Faces of Marketing: Ana Chaud, founder of Garden Bar

Ana Chaud, Founder of Garden Bar is, a shape-shifting force of nature. She danced her way through her childhood, growing in independence while navigating the bustling streets of São Paulo and embracing her creativity and passions despite a rigidly academic school environment and narrow societal narrative on the “right” professions to pursue. The veggies her mother gave her to snack on would later inspire her to open what is now one of Portland’s fastest-growing chains. Ana often found herself wondering “what’s my next life?” and encourages us all to make the leap, as she did when she moved from Brazil to the US without speaking English or knowing a soul. Always one to land on her own two feet, she built a series of successful careers, from reluctant interior design intern to the powerhouse entrepreneur she is today.
