In 2006, Richard Escalante embarked on a transformative journey after graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the esteemed California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). His specialized focus in Film/Video within the School of Character Animation not only equipped him with artistic prowess but also ignited his entrepreneurial spirit.

It was during this pivotal moment in his life that Richard recognized a pressing need in the business world. Small businesses, despite their innovative ideas and unwavering dedication, often found themselves at a disadvantage when it came to projecting a professional image akin to that of Fortune 500 companies. Traditional wisdom dictated that achieving such a level of sophistication required vast financial resources, which many small businesses simply couldn't afford.

In 2007, KTP Studio was born from Richard's vision to bridge the gap between small businesses and their larger, more financially endowed counterparts. With his background in film and video, he understood the power of storytelling, visual communication, and the impact of a well-crafted brand. These principles became the foundation upon which KTP Studio was built.

Through KTP Studio, Richard offered an array of services tailored to the specific needs of small businesses. This included branding, web design, video production, and marketing strategies that would transform a business's image and visibility. The focus was not merely on aesthetics but on empowering small businesses to thrive in a competitive digital landscape.

When Richard isn't immersed in the world of art and education, he enjoys a diverse range of interests and activities. Family takes center stage in his life, as he relishes spending quality time with his wife, Michelle, and their four children. Richard's dedication to his community extends beyond the classroom, as he frequently volunteers at his local church.
This service-minded approach showcases his deep-rooted values and commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those around him.
