WHO IS DANIELA

The Story Behind IN(TeL)²

"IN(TeL)² stands for It's Never Too Late To Learn — and resembles the word 'intel,' which means useful information concerning subjects of interest."
— DANIELA

For a long time, my motto was “It’s never too late to learn” — something my guitar teacher told me at 16 when I confessed I thought it was too late to learn how to read music and play the piano. He didn’t just say the words; he bought me a music theory workbook, which I finished, and I went on to learn piano. After that, something shifted.

What else had I always wanted to do?

That question eventually became my apocalyst — a list of everything I want to accomplish while there’s still time.

Along the way, my motto evolved into “It’s never too late to live.” To me, living is: awareness and action — knowing yourself, discovering what makes you feel alive, and actually doing those things. Because as long as we’re still alive, it’s never too late. 

IntelSquared is where I document all of it, and where I hope to help you do the same.
