Parliament has welcomed Stephen Goalby as creative director and head of design. The studio, which was established in 2020, has quickly become one of the go-to VFX houses in the US, and has been responsible for the VFX and Design on multiple high-profile Super Bowl campaigns.
In an exciting yet anticipated move, the studio looks to take the next step in its evolution, as it strives to become as known for its design capabilities as it is for VFX. With Stephen at the helm, Parliament is poised to become an all-encompassing creative force. Stephen joins with over 20 years of industry experience encompassing commercials, theme parks and blockbuster films. He garnered global attention after designing the four minute opening title sequence to James Bond, ‘No Time to Die’, as well as notable projects for Disney’s ‘Haunted Mansion’ film and Universal Studios ‘Jurassic World’ theme park.
Reflecting on his appointment, Stephen said, “The opportunity to collaborate and grow Parliament’s design division, that’s the biggest pull for me. I’m amazed by the work, it’s a brilliant portfolio at four years old, and to be part of that is exciting in itself. But then to be asked to bring my background of 20-odd years in design and merge that all together with all different mediums – immersive, design, VFX – that’s super exciting. Pinch me!”
Phil Crowe, founder of Parliament, commented, “Our goal at Parliament has always been to foster a creative culture centered around our artists. Stephen’s world-class talent and ability to design for rapidly evolving canvases and technologies speaks for itself; but it’s his approach to his craft, collaborative nature and charisma that make him the ideal leader and perfect choice to grow Parliament’s design offering.”
