Matt is the founder of SevenSwords.uk and Geeks with Swords, a creative lifestyle brand built around passion, imagination, and the enduring fascination with blades, battles, and the stories we attach to them. His mission is to bring history alive, not as a dusty list of dates, but as a living thing full of artistry, symbolism, and human connection.
With a background that spans digital media, web strategy, and TV formats ranging from Question Time to Robot Wars, Matt’s real calling lies in turning his lifelong love of history and swords into something inspiring and accessible. To him, these weapons are more than tools of combat. They are expressions of culture, power, and myth. Whether it's a Viking blade, a Renaissance rapier, or a legendary cinematic prop, each sword tells a story, and Matt is here to share it.
Through engaging content, social media, and design,Seven Swords celebrates the crossover between learning and fun. It's for the curious, the nostalgic, and anyone who's ever imagined wielding something iconic. Matt’s vision encourages people to explore the past with fresh eyes, connect with creativity, and enjoy the ride.
He’s also won a NESTA Design & Innovation award and holds a gold medal from BBC’s Techno Games, but what really drives him is building a space where knowledge, humour, and passion collide.
