Okay, let’s tackle this. So Karen has 50 years of experience as an interior designer, which is extremely rare and valuable. Her experience spans multiple skills like furniture, interior architecture, and residential design. She’s also worked at a high level, as a designer & president at Pulliam Morris Interiors. Education from Converse College and The University of Georgia adds to her prestige. Location is Lexington County, South Carolina, which is a relatively smaller market. Considering her level of experience and education, I would estimate her rate to be around $125 per hour, which is slightly below average for an interior designer with her qualifications. However, this is still a very high rate, and she could likely charge more, especially if she were based in a larger market or had more extensive commercial design experience.
