STRANGE LINES DESIGN
by Laura Mertz
Social Media Management for Lunch. & Supper! and Hang RVA.
In March of 2026, I started managing the Social Media and website for Lunch. & Supper! (@lunchorsupper), a successful and popular restaurant in Richmond, Virginia. I had already been doing their menu design for years, so I made a proposal for my manager and presented it to her. The account had a large following, 21.1k followers, but was drastically underused and wasn't posting quality content.
Once I took over, we gained 2k followers in 6 months and are now posting high-quality content regularly. We have used relatable and funny content to engage our audience and further build trust. I believe that people support brands that they have an emotional connection to, not ones that just post promotional content.
In June of 2026, Lunch. & Supper! opened a new concept, Hang (@hang_rva), right next door. I have had the privilege of designing everything they have needed including their logo, all of their menus, various promotional materials, etc. I also started their Instagram page and website and run both of those.
