Okay, let’s tackle this. So Susie has 46 years of experience in graphic design, which is a long time. Typically, senior designers or those with extensive experience can charge higher rates. However, her experience is in ad layout and design, which might be considered mid-level design skills. Location is San Angelo, Texas, which is a smaller market. Design professionals with her level of experience in smaller markets might average lower rates. Considering her experience and location, I’ll estimate around $75 per hour, which is on the lower end of the scale for senior designers.
