With her American/Norwegian background, Marianne has drawn her artistic inspiration from both cultures and classic jewelry design, and current fashion trends. That the Native American culture, in particular, has been a significant source of inspiration can be seen in many of her designs. This, along with her love of the “free spirit” rock n’ roll vibes of the seventies, combined with the minimalistic Scandinavian style of today, makes for a personal expression. This is very prominent in her designs, giving a strong and characteristic signature. Emphasizing the wearability of the designs, Marianne has created a look that is suitable for any occasion, opting for subtlety over showiness.

The success by me lies in creating collections with a strong personal expression, balancing between the masculine and feminine, that appeals to people of all ages and allows them to highlight their own personal style.

Sustainability and authenticity are important to the designer, and she steers clear of short-lived trends and mass production. She does not compromise quality and, by me, is designed and produced in Norway, where the designer currently lives.
