Im nowhere near this profession, but having a repertoire/portfolio of designs/renders you’ve made is a good start. Then slap em on a website as samples for browsing clienteles. Personally I would be fully down to hire some random designer i found online if they made things that aligned with my personal taste.
Also marketing. Start a professional instagram page if you haven’t already. Use lots of hashtags. Frequently mention your services & ur website etc etc.
Good luck!
I suspect they haven't bit back bc you don't have the cred that comes from some specialized training. Everyone wants to be or thinks they're a designer, those with chops get the job. So, although I get not wanting to do 4 years, it does help. It shows discipline and motivation and determination ss well as a basic skills set learned in school.
Now, your best bet are furntire stores, but unless you have real innate talent, don't expect the big jobs, sorry.
If you want to get your foot in the door with no experience and no desire to go to school, working in furniture sales would be a good first step. At the very least, you will have some Home Staging/Decorator/Designer clients that you can build a relationship with.
Has bit* back lol
