Dora Jean Gillespie is an Irish conceptual digital artist, creative entrepreneur and cultural innovator exploring how stories from the past can become experiences for the future.

Her career began in conceptual and photographic art, using research, imagery and storytelling to explore people, identity and culture. She later moved into music, creating visual worlds and album artwork, and has continued to work across disciplines where art, technology and human experience meet.

Today, Dora Jean works with emerging technologies including AI, immersive experiences and interactive media to explore new ways of connecting people with culture and heritage.

She is the founder of Starilum, a creative technology company working at the intersection of music, cultural intelligence and AI.

At the heart of her work is a simple belief: heritage is not something we simply long to preserve, it is something we can reimagine, experience and pass on.
