How do you hire Sean Garschi?

Short answer

Email start@growthr.com with four things: the date, the budget range, what assets already exist, and who signs off. Those answers determine feasibility before anything creative is discussed. Projects are scoped per engagement and typically begin within two to three weeks.

What to send

The four answers above, and nothing else. A long brief written before the mechanic exists usually has to be thrown away, because the interesting version of the idea only appears once something is playable.

If you have already decided the mechanic, say so, that is a legitimate thing to commission, it just produces a different engagement.

What it costs

Builds are scoped per project against the date, the assets that exist, and the approval structure. Growth, SEO/GEO, and paid retainers run monthly.

The largest cost driver is almost never engineering. It is asset production and the number of approval rounds.

What the first two weeks look like

Week one is the mechanic: a rough playable on a phone with placeholder assets, judged on feel rather than fidelity. Week two is the decision, build it, change it, or kill it before real money is spent on art direction.

Everything is handed over. Code is yours, documentation ships with it, and no system is designed so it stops working when the engagement does.
