I work for a large agency and I make $70k. Austin TX. I’m fairly certain I’m underpaid based on conversations with other creatives in town. FWIW.

I don’t work at an agency currently - but if you are looking for UX UI salaries - in Denver a Senior UX Designer typically makes $100k-$115k maybe more depending on the size of company. Art Director probably looking around $85k, senior graphic designer a little lower, $70-$80k.

Thank you! 🙏
