Okay, let’s tackle this. So Brigitte has a broad range of skills, including graphic design, web design, and Adobe Creative Suite expertise. She’s also an owner of her own design firm, which suggests a level of entrepreneurial experience. Location is Gaithersburg, Maryland, which is a moderate-cost area. Considering her skills and experience, I’d look at mid-tier design professionals in similar locations. A good benchmark for a freelance graphic designer or owner of a small design firm might be $75–$150 per hour. Since Brigitte has a strong portfolio and experience, I’ll estimate on the higher end of that range, around $125 per hour.
