THE FREEDOM TO CREATE BRINGS THE POWER TO INNOVATE

So... who is this exactly?

Hi! My name is Charlotte Molenaar. I graduated from The Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences where I studied Communication and Multimedia Design. During my Graduation Project I got involved with speech assistants (i.e. Amazon Alexa, Athom Homey and Google Home) and how they could be of use in the elderly care. I have a passion for learning new things and I found getting getting to work with such new technologies during my Graduation Project extremely inspiring. Helping people, while creating new concepts and experiences for them is what I aspire to do in life. Using new technologies in a way that is not only entertaining but most of all benefits people in need is why I got interested in using these technologies. I'm not a person that gets satisfied by making something that has been done before, I want to explore new possibilities of using existing technology for the best and in new ways.

So... what do I do?

Ha! I got you covered! I selected some of my favorite projects I've ever done and put them in a showcase here. There are four categories which are displayed below here in order of mentioning: 'Goestria' (my Graduation Project), 'Concept Development', 'Illustrations' and 'Photography'. If you want to know more about the projects, feel free to contact me!

So... what have I accomplished?

On June 13th, 2018 I was placed third at the BTG Young ICT Professional Awards in the category of supplier. I have been nominated for this award for my graduation project called 'Goestria' which you can check out above here. Amongst other successful businesscases, mine was in a world of it's own. I am extremely proud of the fact that I was able to present my concept to so many people of the Dutch Telecom Branche. I presented together with my colleague Quincy Kools, and I couldn't have had a better partner for this project. I'm extremely proud of my award.

So... anything more about me?

Okay, I totally get it. You don't only want to see the business side of the person you're talking to, a person is more than that. And because I am overly prepared for some personal questions I have decided to share some personal facts about me you should, or shouldn't have to know, it's up to you to decide.

  • • I can't snap my fingers (I really don't understand how).
  • • I love baking.
  • • I am a total cat-person (I own two cats... the best animals on this planet).
  • • I am a newbie-home-sewer-in-training-by-youtube.
  • • My favorite possession at the moment is my sewing machine.
  • • As you could've guessed from the music-pictures project: I am obsessed with music (concerts, cd's, vinyl, you name it).
  • • Since I was about 11 years old I make all of my parents's and Grandma's Christmas cards.
  • • I'm a total DIY'er, because why buy when you can make it?
  • • Mozzarella is hands-down my favorite type of cheese.
