Kalin Rodgers
Kalin Rodgers was born in Lafayette, IN, raised in Hastings, NE and graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC with a Bachelor's degree in Merchandising Management with a minor in economics. In June of 2018, she moved to Taos, NM to study Alchemical medicine making. After apprenticing for two years, she developed her own practice known as TABÜ Aphrodisiacs. Although her passion is for aphrodisiacs, she observed the need to expand her horizon to native plants of New Mexico to offer the people readily-available medicines. She weaves this devotional practice into curating the menu at UN-17 with the intention of bridging the gap between medicine and mixology. She applies her alchemical knowledge to UN-17 space to compost and repurpose as much as possible in order to decrease waste. Her long-term life goal is to open her own laboratory to offer accessible and effective remedies. She now lives in Bosque Farms with her life partner Jesse Moya and their cat Sid.
