Rev. Cecil Williams is a San Francisco icon. In 2019 Rev. Williams turned 90 years old and GLIDE wanted to celebrate in community. For his birthday I created custom digital artwork that highlighted the GLIDE values and samples of Cecil's sermons and quotes. I scoured the GLIDE archives to find source materials including photos, old sermons, and handwritten notes, all of which were compiled to create something one-of-a-kind.
It was an absolute honor to be able to create something like this to celebrate this landmark birthday. The artwork was used in invitations, public flyers, emails, banners, buttons, and more.
