[IxDA Discuss] Contract Rates going at $150 - $250/hr ??

[Nancy Broden]

Well-seasoned, self-employed interaction designers in the Bay Area  
can easily charge $90 - $150/hr. The higher end is generally reserved  
for people with specialized expertise or knowledge, such as designing  
for mobile devices.
