Okay, so Chad has a solid portfolio of graphic design skills, including Adobe Creative Suite expertise. He works in Portland, Oregon, which is a relatively affordable market for designers. Considering his skills and experience, I'd estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is on the lower end of the range for a graphic designer in the US. This is because he doesn't have any specific industry leadership or management experience, which can command higher rates. However, his strong design skills and local market conditions support this estimate.
