JOHN TOWNSELL
SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR / ENGINEER / HUSBAND / FATHER
Meet JT, the visionary behind RIAJN. Born and raised in Illinois (Quad Cities), his early fascination with fragrances blossomed amidst Chicago’s melting pot of cultures, rich diversity of scents, spices and aromas as well as innovative spirit. This environment fueled his passion for perfumery, even as he pursued a degree in Industrial Engineering, an MBA, and Executive leadership positions including Mastercard, Deloitte, Hershey, and OneMain Financial.
In early 2024, driven by a belief that every person deserves a differentiating luxury aura, with a formula that morphs and changes based on unique body chemistry, JT founded RIAJN. His creations are more than just perfumes; they are olfactory journeys that bolster moods and transport wearers to different times and places. Each fragrance is meticulously crafted using the finest natural and organic ingredients, sourced sustainably from around the globe.
