Okay, let’s tackle this. So Matthew Stark has 27 years of experience in graphic design, which is a significant amount of time. His skills include graphic design, creative direction, exhibit design, and branding, which are all in demand. He’s worked at two notable companies, Art Guild / Avalon Exhibits and Exhibitgroup/Giltspur. Location is New Castle, Delaware, which is a smaller market. Based on national averages, experienced graphic designers in the US can charge between $75 and $150 per hour. Considering his extensive experience and skills, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is on the lower end of the range.
