ERNIE "JAYMES" DWIGHT
Founder | Creative Director

Jaymes is owner and creative mind of Total Eclipse Designs. Founded in 1997, Total Eclipse Designs was first used to showcase illustrations to others, but over time, it turned from a hobby into a productive, small studio providing creative, effective and vibrant idea concepts and designs for those in need of services. It had become an Idea Haven.
 
As a child and teenager, he spent most of his time illustrating and creating things: from drawing pictures and making comics to designing posters and flyers. After high school, he joined the U.S. Navy. As a Navy Chief, he served as a Senior Illustrator | Graphic Designer. For more than 17 years, he served overseas, aboard ships and at stateside government organizations as an illustrator, graphic designer, photographer, public affairs specialist and newspaper and magazine staffer. For most of his career, he worked in the joint military environment providing visual media support for all branches of the military and most government agencies. After 20 wonderful years of honorable and dedicated service, he decided it was time for a change. Now, he spend his time as a Design Consultant helping clients to include community organizations, realtors, authors and small businesses meet their expectations, deadlines and of course… their budgets!
