Matt is T3's former AV and Smart Home Editor (UK), master of all things audiovisual, overseeing our TV, speakers and headphones coverage. He also covered smart home products and large appliances, as well as our toys and games articles. He's can explain both what Dolby Vision IQ is and why the Lego you're building doesn't fit together the way the instructions say, so is truly invaluable. Matt has worked for tech publications for over 10 years, in print and online, including running T3's print magazine and launching its most recent redesign. He's also contributed to a huge number of tech and gaming titles over the years. Say hello if you see him roaming the halls at CES, IFA or Toy Fair. Matt now works for our sister title TechRadar.
Before working for T3 Matt was Editor for MacLife, a magazine dedicated to all things Apple. This was the number one Apple magazine in the world during Matt's stewardship and covered all the new hardware and software released by the firm, from iPhones to iPads and onto MacBooks and AirPods.
Away from Future and consumer technology, Matt's passions revolved around the cinema, which he visits on average three times a week. He's also a big fan of board games, mountain walks, Lego and his pet cat.
