About
Izaak Stivala
Freelance Builder & AI Architect — between Berlin and Malta.
One eye for the brand, the system, and the business operations behind it. Izaak Stivala is a freelance builder and AI architect based between Berlin and Malta — he designs the brand, builds the AI and technology behind it, and runs the operations that keep it moving.
He's not just a consultant. Over 10+ years he's co-founded and run his own companies — a 4-location specialty coffee chain, Malta's largest independent music community, and a 200-capacity venue — so he builds for clients like an owner, not a vendor.
