Okay, let’s tackle this. So Karl Kwast has skills in multiple design areas, which is great. However, his experience is limited to being the owner of a small design service, which might not be as high-demand as working for a larger company or having more extensive experience. Location is Midland, Michigan, which is a smaller market. Design professionals with similar skills in larger cities might charge higher rates. For example, designers in cities like New York or San Francisco might charge $100-$200 per hour. Considering Karl’s skills and experience, I’m estimating a lower rate, around $75 per hour, which is more in line with what you might expect for a solo designer or someone just starting out in a smaller market.
