Industry Advisor 2019
Traylor Woodall
Executive Creative Director and Founder of Fivestone Studios

Traylor Woodall is the Executive Creative Director and Founder of Fivestone Studios in Nashville, USA. When you meet him for the first time, two qualities stand out. First – he loves what he does. Second – you have to look up to him because he’s so tall! Fivestone was born out of Traylor’s desire to couple major market creativity with small-town ideals. As a self-proclaimed “graphics geek,” he has an infectious passion for compelling storytelling. His drive for creative excellence is equaled only by his passion for the people around him. Outside of work, you can find him with his model-worthy family (of course) and enjoying quiet time in the wilderness.
