Monique Hearne

Monique is the connective tissue of The Belonging Lab - a creative strategist who blends sharp communication instincts with a deep commitment to inclusion and authenticity. With a background in communications, she brings clarity, warmth and playfulness to the Lab's projects, ensuring every message feels lived-in rather than performative.
 

Her work sits at the intersection of storytelling and belonging: helping organisations speak with honesty, build trust and create spaces where people feel seen. She's known for her inventive, witty approach to communication, her ability to translate complex ideas into accessible narratives and her belief that real change starts with how we make people feel.

​

Alongside co-founder Marcel, Monique shapes the Lab's creative direction, community ethos and values-led approach. Together, they champion work that is thoughtful, joyful and rooted in real human experience.
