Okay, let’s calculate. Ric has a broad range of skills in interior design, including space planning, furniture, and architectural design. He also has project management experience. In the US, interior designers with similar skills can charge between $75-$150 per hour, depending on experience and location. Ric’s location in San Rafael, California, is near San Francisco, which is a hub for design and architecture. Considering his skills and location, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below the average for a designer with similar experience in the Bay Area.
