Okay, let’s tackle this. So Bryan has a solid skill set in graphics, UI design, and Adobe Creative Suite. He’s also got experience in UX and interaction design. Location is San Diego, which is a hub for tech and design. According to Glassdoor, a mid-level graphic designer in San Diego can earn around $60,000 per year. Considering Bryan’s skills and experience, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $120, which is slightly above the industry average. Some freelance graphic designers in the US can charge upwards of $200 per hour, but that’s not necessarily reflective of Bryan’s level of experience. I’m taking a conservative approach here.
