Okay, let’s tackle this. So Courtney Tarboton has 23 years of experience as a kitchen designer and showroom manager. Location is City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. Considering the industry and location, her rate is likely to be lower than in major cities in the US or Europe. Let’s look at some benchmarks. According to Glassdoor, average salary for a kitchen designer in the US is around $50,000 per year. However, this is not directly comparable to South Africa. Considering the experience and skills, I would estimate her hourly rate to be around $75, which is a rough estimate and may vary based on the specific project requirements and client budget.
