ABOUT

My name is Abby Gaskin, and I work with ambitious art and design students around the world to help them build compelling portfolios for top academic programs. Students I’ve worked with have earned acceptances to leading schools across North America and Europe. I hold a BFA in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design and a Master’s degree in Japanese Studies from the University of Toronto.

Woman with color palette

I founded GAPC in 2017, and my consulting approach blends thoughtful critique, structured guidance, and creative freedom, helping each portfolio come together in a way that feels cohesive, competitive, and uniquely personal.
