Okay, let’s tackle this. So Wendy Pierce has 40 years of experience as an architect, which is extremely valuable. Her education from the University of Michigan adds prestige. Skills like interior design, architecture, and sustainable design are in demand. Location is Leland, MI, which is a small town. Architects with her level of experience, especially in sustainable design, typically charge higher rates. Maybe around $200–$300 per hour? But considering her long tenure and local location, maybe lower. Some top architects can charge $400+. Let’s check averages. Mid-level architects might average $150–$250. So I’ll estimate around $175, adjusting for the smaller market and her extensive experience.
