"To write, I need a little madness every so often. It helps me to think out-of-the-box, shake away my anxiety and jump into poetry. To finetune my writing, I also need a good sense of reason."

"As a designer I am constantly seeking for ways to create tactile spaces with a high sensibility."

"We already have reality, so everything that can be added to that, is very welcome to me. Whether it is madness or fiction, that what I don’t understand is a source of inspiration. "

"The fact that, in every step of the process, we involved children to codesign and cocreate the different artistic works. They made such engaged and concrete suggestions, and asked the sharpest questions... those really deserve to be heard."

"I love going on a research journey to listen and to open my eyes to alternative ways of looking, thinking and doing. This is exactly what I get to do as a researcher and creative director of Morgen met Lucas."

"What struck me the most is the workshop session in which professional animator Mickey Cohen worked together with children to create the modern version of the fairy tale. It was beautiful to see how the children became more confident about their illustrations after seeing what Mickey could create with them."

Met Possible Landscapes onderzoeken we samen met stakeholders nieuwe perspectieven voor een duurzame leefomgeving. Uit de eerste co-creatie sessies over de Peel kwamen ideeën die meteen meegenomen kunnen worden in de plannen van het Waterschap voor het gebied.

"I find it important to work on projects that have a social impact and anticipate on the future. With The Village Utrecht we are finding out what all the social-cultural and urban geographical developments mean for the future of involved parties."

"Working with Company New Heroes to get Yes, please! to COME ALIVE has been an absolute blast! Not only did I get a chance to explore the vast variety of erotic fantasies, but I had the privilege of doing so in a team of openminded and really cool people!"

"The fantasies we collect are about so much more than the erotic. It touches your deepest being and influences your day to day life much more than I could ever imagine. It's a true privilege to help uncover the most vulnerable parts of so many different people."

"It is amazing to experience the possibilities and beauty of natural materials. This touches a wide audience that comes to see, smell and feel. I admire the storytellers who are always there to enthusiastically inform and amaze you."

"If madness is fire, we tend to talk about the firemen. I’d rather deal with everything the fire can heat, melt and illuminate."

At our office I am doing a lot of emailing, calling and ‘excelling’ to keep an overview of all the New Heroes projects. But the part of my job that I enjoy the most is experiencing when the projects are premiered to the public.

I have only been at New Heroes for half a year, but since then it has been so much fun to see people coming back to the theaters, exhibitions and festivals. After two years of lockdowns it is a joy to draw people into our world again.
