Hi! Tell me about you and your business.

My name is Michael Hillel. I am 27 years old and was born and raised in Encino, CA where I still live and run my business.

I am the founder and CEO of SunHaven; a home goods manufacturing and wholesale company, currently focused primarily on outdoor furniture. At SunHaven, we:

• Design all of our own products.
• Oversee production with our suppliers abroad.
• Create all marketing content that our retail partners use to sell our products (i.e., product photos, descriptions, instruction manuals, etc).
• Make sure that each order placed arrives to its customer’s home safe and sound.

We do it all!

While we operate primarily in the e-commerce space, we also work with a few brick and mortar stores. Some of our most notable retail partners include Wayfair, Overstock, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods and Hayneedle.
