We automate the busywork so you can focus on growing your business
Based in Virginia Beach, we help small and medium businesses nationwide cut manual work by 40-80% through lean, reliable automations that actually work.
Our mission & values
What drives us and how we work with clients
Results Over Hype
We focus on measurable business outcomes, not flashy technology. Every automation we build must prove its value in weeks, not months.
Lean & Practical
We build simple, robust automations that your team can understand and maintain. No over-engineering, no vendor lock-in.
Partnership Approach
We're not just vendorsāwe're strategic partners invested in your long-term success. We train your team and provide ongoing support.
Our approach: Lean, reliable, pragmatic AI
How we think about automation and AI in business
šØ We believe in pragmatic AI
AI should solve real problems, not create new ones. We use AI where it makes senseādocument processing, data enrichment, smart routingānot as a replacement for human judgment.
Our AI principles:
- Start with the business problem, not the technology
- Always have a human in the loop for important decisions
- Use AI to augment your team, not replace them
- Build fail-safes and monitoring into every AI workflow
āļø We build for reliability
Automations that break are worse than no automation at all. We design robust workflows with proper error handling, monitoring, and fallback procedures.
Our reliability standards:
- Every automation includes error handling and alerts
- We test thoroughly before deploying to production
- Documentation and training ensure your team can troubleshoot
- We monitor performance and proactively fix issues

Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Chad Naujoks, founder of Beach Breeze Studios. I started this company after watching too many businesses struggle with manual processes that technology could easily handle.
Before Beach Breeze Studios, I spent 8+ years helping companies optimize their operationsāfirst as a business analyst, then as a workflow consultant. I've seen what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to automation.
The problem with most automation projects? They focus on the technology instead of the business outcome. They over-engineer solutions that break easily and require constant maintenance.
My approach is different. I start with your biggest pain points, design simple solutions that your team can understand, and measure success in terms of time saved and revenue generatedānot features deployed.
When I'm not automating business processes, you'll find me photographing the Virginia Beach sights or exploring the Chesapeake Bay with my family.
