About TWELF
Our Story
TWELF began with two people, two different stories, and one shared obsession: technology. We are a Cuban couple who came to the United States with a dream, a deep love for computers, creativity, gaming, and the desire to build something meaningful of our own.
Technology has always been part of who we are. We love computers, hardware, design, gaming, problem-solving, and the feeling of bringing ideas to life through the things we create. For us, technology is not just work, it is passion, curiosity, art, and identity.
Alain is a telecommunications engineer, a lifelong gamer, and someone who has loved computers since childhood. Growing up in Cuba, things were different, there were no PC boutiques, no endless shelves of parts, and no easy way to buy the machine you dreamed about. If you wanted a gaming computer, you had to build it yourself with whatever pieces you could find. That is how Alain and his twin brother got their first PC, part by part, with patience, creativity, and pure passion. That spirit still lives inside TWELF today.
Nanami’s story began in high school, during her very first computer science class. Every student was given a computer and told to completely disassemble it, place every single component on the table, and then rebuild it so it worked perfectly again. She was the only one who got it right on the first try. That moment changed everything. It sparked a lasting love for computer hardware, structure, design, and the beauty of things fitting together exactly as they should. She is also a designer, an Associate in Computer Science, an otaku, and a gamer with a deep appreciation for symmetry, aesthetics, and detail.
Together, we built TWELF at the intersection of technology, performance, and design. We do not just love building PCs, we love the entire world around them, the hardware, the visuals, the creativity, the innovation, and the experience of turning an idea into something real. Every curve, every cable path, every airflow decision, every color choice matters. We believe technology should do more than work well. It should feel powerful, look beautiful, and reflect the person behind it.
TWELF is also a home built with love, and that includes our cat, Marcy. She helps more than she probably realizes, keeps us company through long workdays, supervises builds, and occasionally leaves behind one or two cat hairs in a PC box. At this point, that is practically part of the brand.
What started as passion became a mission: to create a life around the things we truly love. Computers, technology, design, gaming, creativity, and the dream of building something with soul. TWELF is for gamers, creators, dreamers, and anyone who wants something more than ordinary.
This is our story. This is TWELF. Be Singular.
