Biography

Megan Blacklidge is a Certified Interior Designer with 13 years of experience working on commercial projects ranging from corporate to hospitality environments in both public and private sectors in Kansas City prior to joining MillerKnoll (Herman Miller) in 2018. Her passion for environmental psychology and the human experience led Megan to enroll in a Cultural Anthropology class at KU in the fall semester of 2023, and spending time in Lawrence subsequently found her more involved in the Interior Architecture Program.  She is excited at the opportunity to strengthen her mentorship skills and impact through teaching.

In her day-to-day role at MillerKnoll she pairs her vast background and leadership skills to help designers create spaces that engage, inspire, and motivate people while supporting and partnering with designers and architects to meet each client’s vision by sharing industry insight, MillerKnoll’s research, workplace initiatives, and proposing innovative product solutions.
