Malcolm Van Dalsem

I am a creative innovator based in Sacramento, CA, with a passion for bringing ideas to life. Over the past decade, I have combined entrepreneurial drive with creative expertise to build a versatile career in design, content creation, and product development.

 

For the past 10 years, I have successfully operated my own business, where I gained invaluable experience in market research, business strategy, and customer engagement. During this time, I provided services such as consignments, estate sales, and consultations, helping others launch their own ventures. My work with the Small Business Administration (SBA) and participation in tax seminars with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration gave me a strong foundation in managing and scaling business operations.

 

Beyond business, my creative journey has been fueled by a deep passion for innovation. I began with content creation, mastering platforms like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. This led to an exploration of 3D modeling and animation in Blender, where I discovered a love for designing intricate visuals and prototypes.

 

Building on this expertise, I entered the world of 3D printing, transforming digital designs into physical creations. I have successfully developed and fabricated a variety of items, tools, props, and prototypes, utilizing advanced techniques such as sanding, bonding, airbrushing, and surface finishing. This combination of technical skill and artistic vision has positioned me as a dynamic problem-solver in both creative and technical fields.

 

With my extensive knowledge of online market trends and experience in the collectibles industry, I am now focused on product development. My goal is to merge functionality with artistic expression, creating unique, impactful products that resonate with modern consumers and leave a lasting impression across industries.
