SALZ.IO

Ines used to write for this place - sharp observations, whatever came to mind. She wrote about terrorism in Germany one week and tamagotchis the next, wrote about girls kissing, just real thoughts scattered across posts. That was nearly five years ago now. She moved to Hamburg, got a job at an ad agency, mostly disappeared except for occasional Twitter updates about her actual life.

SALZ.IO started appearing late last year. Her blog. Fashion, DIY, design - things she actually cares about making. She wrote about giving herself three months to decide if she’d keep going with it, if the project would stick. Something about 2014 being when she deliberately carved out time for creativity, that it helped, so she decided to keep the practice and write about it.

The site’s full of love, she said. It is. There’s something about watching someone actually do the work. Not the talking stage - the actual making time and filling it. That’s what Ines is doing.
