Okay, let’s tackle this. So Craig Mellott has a mix of design and non-design skills, but is primarily a designer. His skills in product design, design strategy, and team building are in demand. However, his experience in sculpture and concept development might not be as directly applicable to the market. Location is Lewisburg, PA, which is a smaller town. Designers with similar skills in larger cities like NYC or San Francisco might charge more. According to Glassdoor, a design strategist in the US can earn around $80,000 per year. Considering Craig’s skills and location, I’ll estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is slightly below the national average. This is a conservative estimate, as it takes into account his smaller-town location and the fact that he may not have as much demand as a designer in a larger city.
