I don't think it would be an interior design person. Looking at adding walls, enclosing parking area, putting on a porch that wraps around the house, re configuring the master bath, vaulting a ceiling and adding another real fireplace. I think a builder would be able to do that but when describing what you want he's think how much money he can make versus "is this possible"? ANy advice is much appreciated

The most important thing is in specifying what it is you want.
A couple decades ago my sister (not an architect) built a detailed scale model of what she wanted. That worked out great for her. Of course, like John said, there's Sketch-up and such too.
OTOH, if you are not detail oriented, a good architect can take broad requirements/wants and deliver sound solutions.
