Okay, let’s tackle this. So Melissa has skills in multiple art forms, but no specific experience in a high-demand field like tech or finance. She’s in Coral Springs, FL, which is a relatively affordable area. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, graphic designers in the US can charge around $25–$50 per hour. Considering her skills and location, I estimate her rate to be on the lower end of this range, around $50 per hour.
