480 range

I’m in Columbus and comparable cities are ATL and Austin, Chicago is more. I’d say $500-600 (although I’m terrible with day rates, my hourly is $65/70 depending on project). My background: 15 years, big agencies and accounts, a few small awards.

I should have said I get that for pure copy jobs. I’m probably not charging enough? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing.

I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
