* Work closely with sourcing, production, merchandising, and marketing teams to bring concepts from idea to launch.
* Create mood boards, design sheets, tech packs, trims, embellishment concepts, and collection stories.
* Recommend suitable fabrics, prints, textures, washes, and construction techniques based on seasonality and regional demand.
* Monitor competitors, emerging brands, and fashion startups to identify white-space opportunities.
* Build collections that balance trend, wearability, comfort, and commercial viability.
* Contribute to product innovation that helps establish new trends rather than simply follow existing ones.

* Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, CorelDRAW, or similar design software.

* Can create products that customers immediately associate with Aruwa Fashion.
* Has the vision to build iconic collections that differentiate the brand from competitors.
