Okay, so Matthew Ferry has a diverse set of skills that could be applied to various industries. His experience in user experience design and web development suggests a strong technical background. However, his arts background and experience in festivals and sound design suggest a more creative approach. Considering his skills and experience, I would place him in the mid-range of user experience designers. According to Glassdoor, the average hourly rate for a user experience designer in San Jose, CA is around $75-$125 per hour. Given Matthew's skills and experience, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $100, which is slightly above the average but still within the range of what a creative user experience designer with a strong arts background could command.
