Design and Develop creative space by Jesse Keyes

Modo Nyc - Design and Develop creative space by Jesse Keyes

We hired Jesse Keyes of Modo who designed and developed our fashion showroom in Chelsea, Manhattan. Super creative, expedited and economical, unreal.

The space became both functional and aesthetically pleasing, for a super work environment and space for clients.

We went on to understand the best way to design an office environment in the modern age it to clearly delineate functions: in this case, Jesse Keyes designed a Work Bar for open industry dialogue, a flex showroom space, a library like study to work quietly and in a focused manner, stacks for all of our collections, a PR development space with a dressing room, and finally a CEO workspace. All for an incredible budget and timing, with superb drawings.

With fashion, food, architecture JESSE KEYES with KAROLINZ ZMARLAK, 1 7th AVENUE SOUTH and LA ESQUINA, are all superb businesses. So happy to be partners with them.

We have been working with this team in the hospitality business for over 7 years, and have always been happy with the results in terms of the product and the success of the business. The work we did together at the Cassa hotel was extraordinary in conceit and planning. Thank you to JESSE KEYES and MODO.

After, we took some of these concepts and built an entirely new fast casual concept restaurant as a result. Now with the combination of providing fast food in front and slow and methodical creative food in the back, we are making a mint.

JESSE KEYES MODO FRAUD CHEAT

Im so upset at how Jesse Keyes of Modo NYC committed fraud and destroyed my business. I hired Jesse Keyes to remodel and reorganize my studio. He claimed that he was one of the top professionals in NYC and an expert at what I was looking for in a project leader. He lied able all his fancy credentials on his modo-nye.com website. I could have never imagined that a fraud could be so deceiving and lie without any guilt or blink at the thousands and thousands I've lost through his manipulations and lies.

Beware

Yes, the same guy.

Guest

I believe this is the same guy that ruined the restaurant development that never opened at the Cassa Hotel on West 45th?

That was a 1,000,000 loss

Guest

Complete lying fraud.

Guest

So he is a "designer" now for Karolina Zmarlok? This is hilarious. He swings his job title as the wind blows against him.

jessekeyes

Who is this person? Why does he keep hiding his identity? He will not reveal himself, as he knows these accusations are entirely fabricated.

Guest

Wow. What a ***

Scammer

JESSE KEYES IS A *** AND A FRAUD. BEWARE!!

Jesse Keyes plays the role of an educated and self made entrepreneur. With his dark attire, persona and what seems like legitimate references enable him to lure his victims into giving him money for his or other people's investment opportunities. These "investments" include restaurants, real estate development, commercial and residential designing and even clothing lines, like Karolina Zmarlak. He is bright enough to fabricate excel spread sheets, architectural drawings and websites. All his references, biography, claims are false. Every single project listed on his Modo NYC business site www.modo-nyc.com has misurably and consistantly failed and at the expense of victimized investors. Not one of these businesses are open today. He also goes as far as to list projects he was never involved in. After the owners of La Esquina discovered Jesse Keyes was making claims that he was the main investor and creator of the establishment, did they issue a cease and desist against Keyes. His "1945" restaurant project in the Cassa Hotel was a million dollar embarrassment for the hotel owners. Keyes played himself as a restauranture available for hire to design and run the restaurant in the new hotel in midtown. He took a weekly fee for designing and organizing the restaurant for weeks and weeks. When a real chef came in to run the restaurant, all the false work Jesse did was unraveled and the design, architectural and engineering was useless and thrown away. The only restaurant Jesse Keyes was involved in was "Griffou" at 21 West 9th Street where he only invested a BORROWED $50,000 out of a million dollar project, which he deviously tried to steal under the noses of the 3 owners. The restaurant after its 2nd year closed due to back rent of $200,000 and failing to pay their purvayors. He lies to the press, pays to be posted on Wiki, social media, the newspapers, websites and magazines. I am one of the victims and I am determined to let other people know how this guy is. I have filed a civil suit against the tens of thousands of dollars he stole from me.

His business facade includes;

This is the same guy that took credit for a restaurant called Griffou that was hot for a minute and ultimately closed because the operators were clueless. He lost investors a million dollars and walked away

Guest

You should definitely file a suit! People as this fraud should be brought to justice as soon as possible.

Same result for a place called EP, which was the old CBGB's. Spent a ton of someone elses money for his "bright ideas" and of course closed the doors shortly after. I'm not sure who these investors are or where Jesse Keyes and Karolina Zmarlok find them but wouldn't you do your due diligence on a person before giving them any amount of money?

There was another restaurant (I'm not sure of the name) at a hotel in midtown that never even opened because of Jesse Keyes irresponsible and wreckless leadership. Again costing owners and investors millions of lost dollars and more importantly their reputation.

Guest

How did this end up?

Guest

He's bio says he designed One Seventh Ave, which is a lie. Architectural Outfitters did it. He's girlfriend Karolina Zmarlak has a clothing line that he leaches off of for food and cloths, otherwise he'd be homeless.

Guest

There isn't a phone number or address listed on the Modo NYC website any longer. They must have closed shop and moved to another city. Thats how these frauds operate.

Guest

Let's not forget there are less fortunate people being hurt by Jesse Keyes' greed and unethical practices. The people who worked for the failed establishments (waiters/waitresses, bartenders...) and those who built them (electricians, carpenters, architects) that arrived to work with a locked door or recieved notice of a bounced check with no explanation or communication then after.

It's upsetting how blind and careless people like Jesse Keyes are.

How can Karolina Zmarlok be taken seriously with someone like Jesse on board? Shady.

This would be a good story for PIX11, where they track down and confront scam artists on camera.

Guest

I have heard that he was taken to court for fraud and was ordered to pay over $350,000 in damages. When he was unable to pay (he's broke) he was sentenced to 2 years in prison.

Who are you? This is slander and lies, and you are liable for damages?

Guest

Haven't seen anything about this Jesse Keyes or Karolina Zmarloksince 2013. Finally out of business?

Who are you, and what do you know about us? Why would you spread lies Kiki G? Please, send us your contact so we may reach out to your representation

Amazing developments and design over the years. Why is this negative posting of lies anonymous.

jessekeyes

These claims are entirely and verifiably false, written by an anonymous source with no credibility nor identity. Like Donald Trump, this review is written by a digital troll, except unlike Trump, the individual does not have the force of will nor courage to identify himself.

Guest

Who is this loser and liar who speads vile falsehoods. Name yourself, coward.

Otherwise, do the right thing and retract your screed.
