Okay, let’s tackle this. So Brad has a range of skills, but they seem to be more on the creative side. He’s not a lawyer or a financial expert, which are some of the highest-paying fields. His skills are more in line with those of a freelancer or independent contractor in the arts. In New York, the cost of living is high, which means that rates tend to be higher to compensate. However, without more specific information about his experience, portfolio, or industry demand, it’s difficult to estimate a precise rate. Let’s assume he’s working on a freelance or consulting basis, and rates for similar services in the NYC area might range from $75 to $200 per hour. Given his range of skills, I’ll estimate around $100 per hour.
