Open Question: I am an aspiring architect, without a degree, can I see my home designs to a firm or company?
Hello! I live in Michigan, and I have taken many courses in architecture, and I currently work with AutoCAD. I feel that some of the designs I create are very good, and that potential buyer would want them. However, since I do not have a degree in architecture, I cannot sell them directly to a potential builder. Is it possible for me to sell them to a design firm? Does anyone have any experience with doing this?

Thanks!
