What do you charge for CAD/repeat pattern work? Am I undercharging?
I've been freelancing for about 6 months for a bedding company and am uncertain on my rates.
My current structure:
- $850 per project — this covers two different scopes depending on the project:
- Master CAD (queen size) + 2 shams only
- Master CAD (queen size) + 2 shams + king and twin sizes with their shams (for unique designs)
- 4 revision rounds included
- $200 rush fee for expedited turnaround
- $100 offered (by the client) for going back to edit past completed projects
For context: I have 5 years of industry experience, a BFA in textile design, and previously worked as an in-house designer at a rug company before going freelance.
The bedding CADs are created from their mockups and inspo. Pretty straightforward.
Am I leaving money on the table? Curious what others in surface/textile design are charging for similar scope.
