超哥短评：
现年估计40岁上下（2020年）
2000-2005年加拿大军队服役（加拿大皇家军事学院毕业），2007年有一些营销材料的设计实践工作，2010-2012年学习平面设计，获得Associate's degree，转行设计工作。
2012年自己的工作室Robert Digital启动。
在Upwork的起步是在2014年11月，一个小单 $27。但很快拿到了5343美金的大单。
接下来的几年，价格上涨非常快，到2017年，小时费率已经涨到了95美金/小时。
我也在监测他的每一年里，每年需要不断调整他快速变动的数据。
最近两年进步飞快，单价飞涨，小时费率甚至涨到了$175/小时，总收入已经超过50万美金。
之前在中国(山西·运城）生活了很多年，同时在线接单。
最大的订单，是2018年开始同一个客户的两个持续项目，收入折算约130万人民币。
他从事的主要是网站和移动设备的UI设计，作品如下：
2020年开始到现在（2020年5月31日），仅仅五个月的时间，他的收入大约在100万人民币左右。
测算依据：确定2020年至今的收入116070美金，跨2019-2020年度的收入71522.5美金，按照40%折算为28609美金。汇率按7，收入为103万人民币。

从转行学习新技术，到获得全新的事业，Robert并没有花很长的时间。
他的成绩也有目共睹。
这是不是可以给你一些启发呢？
