CHŪri 

Intervention, Narrative, Design & Packaging

CHŪri is a beaded ring designed as a gentle, wearable intervention to help break the cycle of nail and skin biting. Rooted in mindfulness, it interrupts at the moment of contact when your hand moves toward your mouth, at the tooth touch moment—serving as a tactile cue to pause, reflect, and make a different choice. Nail biting often stems from anxiety, stress, or boredom, becoming second nature over time; CHŪri offers a subtle but powerful reminder that change is possible.

Instead of punishing or shaming, CHŪri offers a gentle interruption—just enough to make you pause, reflect, and offer the choice not to bite. It doesn’t try to “fix” you. Even when taken off, the ring stays with you as a symbol of trying, of progress. This project is about shifting the narrative around breaking habits: from one of perfection and control to one of self-awareness, softness, and ongoing growth. 
CHŪ on this! CHŪ on change!
