Monalilianna

Meet Manon Lavaud , better known as

Manon is a chef based in Austin, Texas, and the heart behind Monalilianna. She started the company to care for moms at every stage of their journey—whether they’re preparing for pregnancy, expecting, or navigating postpartum life. Through Monalilianna, Manon shares nutritious, ready-made meals delivered bi-weekly or monthly, making it easier for mothers to nourish themselves while focusing on what matters most.

  • Monalilianna, initially positioned itself as a farm-to-table catering and event service. As the business vision evolved, Manon sought to rebrand Monalilianna into a subscription-based meal delivery service dedicated to supporting mothers through preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum.

    The brand lacked a defined identity and digital presence - there was no logo, typography system, color palette, brand voice, or social media direction. Additionally, Monalilianna’s social media visibility was minimal, limiting its ability to attract, engage, and retain its target audience.

    My role was to establish a complete brand strategy and social media strategy to reposition Monalilianna, create a compelling identity, and foster a community around nourishment and motherhood.
