Inspired by his success as a freelancer, in 2002 Hudson launched 2nd Chapter Design. Under 2nd Chapter Design, Hudson has designed more than a dozen children's book covers and rendered illustrations and photographs that have been featured in Poetry from the Masters: The Pioneers and Prayers for the Smallest Hands. He has designed web sites, brochures and other marketing collateral for companies in various industries, including technology, education, entertainment, publishing and fashion/beauty.
Hudson established 2nd Chapter Photo in 2005.
