BRANDING
INTEGRITY, CHARACTER, WIT
XMAS Designworks serves clients — businesses, events, campaigns — by communicating their estimable values through the ideation, design, and application of a sharp visual language reflecting essential qualities.
Below are samples of typical identity work-ups for XMAS and some favorite clients. And for an example of a branding design brief, click here.
DESIGN
GRAPHIC, FURNITURE, SPATIAL
Lead by ideas, design is bound not by rules or genre, but by values and principles. The design sensibility of XMAS is born of minimalist aesthetic philosophies of Pennsylvania Shakers, the Bauhaus, and Scandinavian design. Through study in San Francisco, Copenhagen, and Providence, and practice in NYC and Philadelphia, XMAS was developed to accomodate nearly any design project with solutions of comfort and joy.

ART
PAINTING, PHOTOGRAPHY, PRINTS, OBJECTS
Painting inspires all other form-making, regardless of media; art is a ceaseless commitment to solve an indeterminate problem.

ABOUT
XMAS Designworks was founded in 2020 by Andrew Russel Coates to cultivate personal design ideals and provide clients with values-based visual communication full of good cheer.
Andrew has studied art and design at some of the best institutions around the world and practiced for fourteen years in Brooklyn before relocating to Philadelphia for a more ideal studio setting.
Housed in a unique, expansive loft in the historic Globe Dye Works building in NE Philadelphia, with easy access to NYC and a diverse network of highly-skilled craftspeople, XMAS was also created to provide consulting, project management, and vendor-sourcing for artists, galleries and museums.
All are welcome to schedule a studio visit — you will likely come away encouraged and with a free houseplant cutting. Please email or book a visit via Setmore to get started now.
