Okay, let’s tackle this. So Lois has a mix of technical and administrative experience. Her skills in pre-press, packaging, and wide format printing are in demand. However, her role as a program coordinator and mounting and finishing technician suggests a more entry-level or support role. Location is Minneapolis, MN, which might be considered a mid-tier market. Given her skills and experience, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be on the lower side of the graphic design industry. Considering the median hourly rate for graphic designers in the US is around $40–50, I'd estimate Lois could charge around $75 per hour.
