Natasha Vora: Setbacks fuel determination; preparation leads to business ownership. Natasha Vora: Setbacks fuel determination; preparation leads to business ownership.
A professional figure skater for 10 years, from the tender ages of 6 to 16, Natasha Vora says operating a store with furnishings marked by exotic woods and textured material may not give her quite the same opportunity for self-expression that executing a double axel to music from Madame Butterfly in a kimono-style costume once did, but it's expressive nonetheless. In fact, Vora sees a number of parallels between her figure skating past and her home decor present. The artistic expression that helped her develop a passion for figure skating has also influenced her selection of Asian-style furnishings and textiles at Indocara, her Madison store. full story full story

A Different Type of Gaming
As the father of two teenage boys attached at the digits to their computing devices, I can see the possibilities of advanced learning through gaming!

Natasha Vora: Setbacks fuel determination; preparation leads to business ownership.
I am very pleased to read this article on Natasha Vora. As a woman and entrepreneur, she personally mentored me in my goals of launching a clothing line named Jessica Catherine Designs here in Madison. There are many entrepreneurial women in this city and I hope this article is just one of many more to come calling attention to those who believe "dreams can come true". – Jessica Catherine Designs, Madison
