Courtney Chilton has always been drawn to the power of words, spaces, and the emotions they evoke. At 24, she founded Speechlust Inc., an inspirational jewelry company designed around unique and powerful words that reminded people of their core values and aspirations. The brand quickly gained national recognition, earning features in Elle, Huffington Post, Chatelaine, and LouLou.

As Speechlust grew, so did the demands of fulfillment and marketing, gradually pulling her away from the deep personal connections that had made the work so meaningful. It wasn’t the jewelry itself that inspired her—it was the emotions and personal stories shared by customers. This realization sparked a shift toward construction and development, an industry that had always fascinated her.

From coordinating large-scale commercial projects with a general contractor to crafting branding and marketing strategies for a developer, her passion for design and personal connection remained at the core of every endeavour. The next natural step was to create spaces that inspire people to be their best selves—environments that not only look beautiful but enhance how people feel and live within them.

Now, with over 25 projects completed across Ontario, Courtney Chilton Creative Spaces is driven by the belief that design should be more than aesthetic—it should be an experience. Every space is crafted with intention, blending creativity, functionality, and emotional impact to create environments that truly reflect those who live and work in them.
