Dairy Boy, founded by influencer Paige Lorenze, blends lifestyle, fashion, and New England Americana with a refreshing, rural-core aesthetic rooted in simplicity and the outdoors. I was especially inspired by Dairy Boy Kitchen, Paige’s Instagram page where she shares home-cooked recipes made with ingredients from local Connecticut farms. The way she connects community, sustainability, and everyday living made me imagine how her culinary world could translate into print. 

To bring the vision to life, I began by hand-drawing and tracing illustrations of cooking tools and ingredients, using them throughout the book to create a cozy, homegrown atmosphere. I laid out several of Paige’s signature recipes using a mix of clean typography and soft, rustic textures, supported by curated stock photography. The cover design remains simple and coffee-table-ready, and I expanded it into four color variations inspired by Dairy Boy's seasonal color extensions.

Hand Drawn Elements

I incorporated hand-drawn sketches throughout the book to reflect Diatry Boy’s style and emphasize the warmth of home-style cooking. These details appear as patterns and overlays on each page, adapting to the ingredients in each meal.
