Okay, let’s tackle this. So Erik Mittel has 24 years of experience as a Senior Product Designer. His education is an Associate’s degree in CAD/CADD Drafting and/or Design Technology/Technician, which is a specialized field. Location is York County, Pennsylvania, which is a mid-sized area. Industry demand for product designers is steady, but rates vary by location and experience. For a mid-level designer with 24 years of experience, I'd estimate around $75 per hour, considering the regional difference and his level of experience. This is lower than what I'd expect for a designer in a major city like New York or San Francisco, but higher than what I'd expect for a designer in a smaller area with less demand.
