Melissa Monahan studied art history in San Francisco and for the past year has been studying interior decorating. She has a knack for finding the right rug for clients. She conducts a relentless search of scores of carpets before finding the best candidate for her customers. Her policy is to never give up until the best rug at the best price can be discovered. She is also a great "people person" which makes her easy and fun to work with at all times.

Joe Azizollahoff has been in the oriental rug trade in New York for over thirty years. He bought and sold antique rugs in the 1970’s and worked for several large rug companies before coming to Nazmiyal. He wrote two best-selling books on oriental carpets and brings a wealth of rug knowledge to the selling floor. He can always be relied upon when clients need to know more about the rug they have selected, and he prides himself on adding consumer confidence through increased carpet understanding. He also has extensive experience in decorating with carpets.
