Chicagoans is a first-person account from off the beaten track, as told to Anne Ford. This week’s Chicagoan is Ashlyn Sparrow, 29, game designer.
So we’re the Game Changer Chicago Design Lab, and we’re focused on creating games around health. We are trying to see if these games can change people’s attitudes.
