LOS ANGELES - Independent VFX and creative studio Parliament (www.houseofparliament.com) recently welcomed Stephen Goalby to its team as creative director and head of design. The studio, which was established in 2020 and has locations in New York and Los Angeles, recently provided VFX services for multiple Super Bowl campaigns. The move to hire Goalby follow's Parliament efforts to extend its work into the design space.
Goalby joins Parliament with over 20 years of experience that encompasses commercials, theme parks and blockbuster films. He garnered global attention after designing the four-minute opening title sequence for the James Bond film No Time to Die, and has also contributed to Disney's Haunted Mansion film and Universal Studios' Jurassic World theme park. After spending seven years at Framestore in London, where he was elevated to head of design, Goalby moved brand-side to become design director at Sky Creative. Joining Parliament, he brings a wealth of experience across mediums and brands.
“The opportunity to collaborate and grow Parliament’s design division, that's the biggest pull for me," reveals Goalby. "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!”
“Stephen is an immense talent, but more than that, an incredible human being," adds Krystina Wilson, who heads up Parliament’s creative tech and design initiatives. "I’m so grateful I get to grow this incredible offering with him, working at a creative powerhouse like Parliament.”
