When you say homegrown, do you mean stuff you come up with on your own, or work done in an art/design school? Agencies and firms are usually looking for indications that you have a strong grasp of fundamentals that would be taught in a school, stuff such as typography, scale and hierarchy. Sometimes you can learn those areas on your own, but from my experience, its best learned from the more experienced (school, mentor, etc.).
Without seeing your work it's hard to tell where you land. I once tried to apply for design jobs before I had design training, and I was basically laughed out of the interviews. Fast forward a couple of years and a degree, and jobs were offered to me.
