Uvenio is an amazing person, but he is stuck in the 90s design wise. He is also very talkative and takes forever to talk to students. People randomly walk into the classroom and talk to him. He is the most foreward thinking Fashion Art teacher at FIT. He also has impaired hearing, which results in impaired speech (which can be hard to understand)

Professor Uvenio was great! He gave me useful critiques on my work and he really understood my vision as a designer. He has a great resume, working in the industry for brands like Anna Sui, Bob Mackie and he is very experienced. He takes the time to learn about his students and their work. I would recommend to take him for 4th semester Art & Design

UVENIO is a tough teacher, but he really knows his stuff. He is is very knowledgeable about standards in the fashion industry and production techniques. If you try hard in his class she will help you when you need it. He teaches at a fast pace, so you must take good notes and pay attention always! Definitely not a teacher for the lazy. The Best!

Uvenio is hands down one of the best teachers i've ever had - at FIT or otherwise. He has a tough exterior but he is incredibly kind -- Uvenio opens up his free time and help any student who asks for it. Uvenio is also extremely clear in his directions. Plus, one time he gave us homemade coconut rice pudding! He is one of the BEST in FIT!

What can I say, I love this guy, UVENIO. Last Semester after graduation and I still have his office number in my cell phone. Whenever I need help with my small biz, I call Uvenio, and he's ALWAYS happy to help. He remembers everybody too. This guy is just all sorts of awesome, and a dedicated teacher. My portfolio got me the job because of Uvenio!

He also willing to sit with you during his office hours and work one on one.

You will not find a professor at FIT who cares more about his students. Yes, Uvenio can be extremely tough at times and he stays after every class and even comes in on some weekends to assist his students. Great professor! Don't play games with Uvenio plus don't be LAZY! UVENIO is about the Presentation.

I did not learn anything. He is a nice person, lovely cheerful personality, but you learn nothing. Every feedback he gives you is the same - 'Beautiful!' 'Gorgeous!' 'I like it' 'I love it'. If you want time to make your own portfolio without any helpful feedback in a good mood and get good grade, take it, but you won't be able to improve at all.

Such a great professor. If you're passionate about design and prepared to work hard, this is the professor for you. He cares about meeting with each of his students and is very hands-on, while also expecting the student to work hard and come up with their own ideas and push themselves. He's truly inspired me to work to the best of my ability!
