For Alexis and I, this was one of our first collaborative projects. We learned the value of being able to utilize each other's skillsets while also having an invested, second opinion on each piece of the process.
Plus, being able to work with Gannett themselves throughout the process was an awesome experience as they were able to critique us in a more professional way than a classroom offers.
