Kaden Hedges

Instructional designer / Trained musician

Learning built the way performers are trained.

Backward from the outcome, grounded in evidence, and built to produce durable capability rather than temporary familiarity.

Selected work

Articulate Rise

Trading on Edge

Confirmation bias, conviction versus overconfidence, and a pause-check-decide framework, each lesson opening inside a high-pressure scenario.

Read the process

How I design

Start from the outcome

Define the performance first, then design backward to it.

Scenario before instruction

Learners meet the real problem before the framework.

Manage the load

Chunked lessons and spaced practice, built on cognitive load theory.

Measure transfer

Kirkpatrick Level 3 framing: what changes on the job.

Also in the repertoire
