That sounds like you're being exploited. It would be better if you found your own clients instead of having someone act as an intermediary. I'm not too familiar with Upwork, but perhaps you could set something up there and find work without having the other designer take credit for your work (which is what it sounds like).

Agree with this!
This is so exploitative and sadly par for the course. Your "client" is just middle-manning and taking advantage of your abilities. $8.50 is way too low for graphic design, regardless of location.
If your designer is on upwork, can’t you go on upwork and just offer your services freelance? You’re already doing the work that way you could have more clients and have a better income.
Have you tried to build up your branding?
If you can sell your design for higher than $8.50/hr but lower than $38/hr, you have a chance to build up your brand and portfolio.
Capitalism as designed. A prime example of exploitation is baked in.
We must always educate ourselves on the market rate for any position. Knowing the final price for your labor is beneficial. Negotiate the highest you can.
