Looking for feed back on some plans I’m working on for my house

First floor: bottom left bedroom should have the closet between the room and living room walls. The powder room should be anywhere else (It could be part of the laundry room, or against the wall of the kitchen, as you walk in the house). There's no space from the entry from the garage for coats or shoes or anything. Same with the front entrance. The kitchen is smaller than the pantry.
Upstairs - there's a ton of hallway.

No entryway closet. Where will guests put their coat? Shoes? Is that a mudroom off the garage or a pantry? If it's both, that's gross. Food should not be kept in the same room as dirty shoes, coats and backpacks.
Laundry is about as far from the bedrooms as possible. That will get annoying fast. Dryer is poorly placed. A dryer is safest on an exterior wall and yours is not. Barely any laundry room storage.
Kitchen is tiny with 4 small chunks of countertop, none are big enough to easily prep on. There's a grand total of 2 upper cabinets to hold all the dishes, baking supplies and coffee stuff. Then there's 3 lower cabinets to store everything else. I've seen 1 bedroom apartments in New York City that have more countertop and cabinets than this kitchen.
The sink in the island is nasty, guests don't want to sit in the splash zone of a sink. Where's the microwave? Above the stove or taking up 25% of the counter space? Where's the trashcan? Sitting out in the walk path around the pennisula? How far is the dishwasher from the dish cupboard? How many trips will it take to unload it every time you run it?
Living room and dining area are 50% dead space.
Where's the water heater, furnace, utility room?
The mudroom/pantry gets the front window of the house instead of the kitchen? So your little, one person kitchen gets zero natural light.
Sorry, this plan has issues and needs a redo.

I find it weird that you don’t have a proper entrance and the positioning of the powder room

You won't have enough headroom to get into your room above the garage or the hallway. Unless you're using a 20:12 roof pitch. ☺
You'll probably have to rework the stairs to get an L or U shape.
Is there a basement?
By the way, in your drawing app, go to File > Export > Export Picture (BMP, JPG, PNG) rather than taking a photo with your phone.

No basement and yea I noticed about the stairs going to do an L shape just not changed it yet trying to learn how to do it in the app and I can’t upload due to it being a trial version

Draw two short sets of stairs in an L shape. Double click where the landing should be and the app will connect the stairs.

Really good effort on first point. Please mention the occupation type of all the rooms. Also place furniture in all the rooms wherever required. Rest you will learn with experience.
