High Level Steps to Renovating a Fixer-Upper?

Hi BP Family - My husband and I are looking into purchasing another single family home.  We've always purchased turn-key properties and are now thinking of buying a true fixer-upper at a lower cost and renovating (i.e. adding higher, architecturally interesting ceiling, ripping out walls, and designing a modern space, etc.).  I'm wondering if anyone can give a high level description of steps to take for renovating a house.  Namely, I'm wondering what's the order for interviewing/hiring a general contractor vs. an architect vs. an interior designer.  If we contact one, will they generally put us in touch with the other professionals they typically work with, or do we go out an find our own?

I'm basically trying to make sense of the big picture.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance all!
