However, if you are absolutely brilliant in what you do, actions speak louder than words. Basically build a very strong portfolio, one which you can show and be proud of. In lots of design industries, portfolios will speak louder than a degree, so it's definitely not a hopeless cause.

If you don't want to go to school, you'll hit a point where you can no longer advance; unless you open your own shop. Try working in a paint studio such as Sherwin Williams (or similar), or in an upholstery shop. That will put you in touch with other designers who may be looking for help.

If you've decorated your own house or others, take photos of that. Evidence of skill makes up for lack of formal training. Build a portfolio of design sketches.

Just take a few classes if you don't want to go to the time or expense of getting your full degree. No, but it might give your resume a little more clout.
