Okay, let’s tackle this. So Faye has 42 years of experience in interior design, which is a long time. Her skills include space planning, window treatments, renovation, and more. She’s also a project manager and has customer service experience. Location is Fairport, New York, which is a moderate-cost area. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, interior designers in the New York metropolitan area can earn around $60,000–$90,000 per year. Considering her extensive experience, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $125, which is on the lower end of the scale for experienced designers.
