Hi, I’m Greta Zumbrunnen, a Chicago-based editor and sound designer. I freelance as a video editor and collaborate with directors to shape stories through editorial pacing, color, and audio. I enjoy documentary and short-form projects and bring archival material to life with thoughtful storytelling and precise sound design. I've worked as a Teaching Assistant at SAIC, interned at Cartel Editorial, and served as a Resident Advisor, organizing community programs and curating student shows. Notable projects include At This Point in Time (director/camera/sound/editor) and Ways to Fly (trailer editor).
