Okay, let’s tackle this. So Ann has some graphic design skills like Indesign and Layout, which are in demand. However, her experience is more in customer service, which is valuable but not as highly paid as graphic design. She’s not a senior designer, and her education is in History, not a design-related field. Location is Davis, CA, which is not a major hub for graphic design. Considering her skills and experience, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be on the lower side of the range for graphic designers. Maybe around $40–$60 per hour? But considering her customer service background, maybe lower. Some junior graphic designers in the area might average $30–$50 per hour. So I’ll estimate around $45.
