You seem to be inherently motivated. As noted you have transferrable skills that are desirable, and an ability to showcase them. So do so. If this is where your passion lies, all the better.

Read up: Quora.com Study up: Khanacademy.org

Any potential workplace you meet with will glean far more from your enthusiasm and expertise of a topic than most degrees.

Hire character, train skill.

Lastly you have to consider relocation as part of the equation. Got to go where the work is. This may lead to a step back in lifestyle, but is just part of the ride...

Appreciate the kind words. I am very interested in relocating just wanted to go out a bit prepared before I jump into a new city.

Any advice on how to showcase my skills to garner some attention?

Build a website that reflects the latest work you have to show. If you're embracing UI/UX, read up on the latest and incorporate those ideals:

Most importantly, think different.
