Originally from Minsk, Belarus, and currently based in San Diego, California, Griesinger works as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. According to Griesinger, it is her formal training in drawing and painting which makes the basis of her design work—proof that digital artwork can still benefit from classical groundwork.

But to get to where she is today, a lot of trial and error was needed as well. “It took me a while to define what my own style would look like,” she noted once in a chat with The Design Kids.

According to Griesinger, the recipe for success lies in the effort being put. “Try everything, stick to what most successfully illustrates your ideas and comes off more naturally to you,” she says.

These days, her style shifts between two opposite poles: a more realistic approach to illustration and a clean-cut, geometric-based approach. “I think it is only natural that after years of practicing both I became a greeting card graphic designer and illustrator,” says Griesinger.

Recent work of hers includes a botanical interpretation of the English alphabet (part of the @36Daysoftype challenge) and some festive greeting cards.

Their letterpress and greeting-cards brand Hello!Lucky uses creativity to amplify human kindness, with the aid of tongue in cheek puns and playful illustrations. Aside from their greeting cards, their award-winning design studio produces anything from best-selling children’s books to bedding, ceramics, and even socks.

“We are both very creative and visually minded,” James shared in an interview with Say Yes, where she described the sisters’ division of labor. “I have the design and illustration skills, but Sabrina is also a great art director and has a really good sense of design,” she noted. “Sabrina is, however, way more left brained than I am – she’s good with numbers and strategic planning and that kind of thing.”

Their brand also gives back to the community, so you know your money’s in good hands. Amongst other activities, the sisters have co-founded the non-profit Write_On Campaign with Egg Press, created protest posters for the Women’s March on Washington, and sold cause pins that have raised over $20K for various charities.

But back to the greeting cards.
