Hello Jasmine,
Thank you for your inquiry. When it comes to home design, the possibilities are truly endless. In fact, you might often find yourself collaborating with a contractor to enhance an existing home or to create an additional living space, commonly known as an accessory dwelling unit.
Given the current housing market, it's less likely that you'll be working on brand new homes or empty properties. When designing for these types of projects, you'll likely be based in an office, crafting either sleek, modern designs or more elaborate and intricate styles.
As long as the property you're working on doesn't exceed one acre in size or contain more than three units, you won't require a license or a college degree. The next phase in your journey is to develop a preference for either modern or ornate styles. Once you've done that, you can create a portfolio showcasing your work and start applying for internships. This will help you gain practical experience and further hone your design skills.

Architects often work in office but need to visit construction sites. The work can involve long hours particularly when meeting deadlines.
To be successful in the world of architecture, one must have strong skills in design and spatial awareness.
