I have one ID but many Desiners under that ID. How do I concatinate the designers so they show up in one column? Is this possible?

or use group by and apply aggregate function like max or min

something like

SELECT ID,
MAX(CASE WHEN RowNo=1 THEN DesignerID ELSE NULL END) AS Designer1,
MAX(CASE WHEN RowNo=2 THEN DesignerID ELSE NULL END) AS Designer2,
MAX(CASE WHEN RowNo=3 THEN DesignerID ELSE NULL END) AS Designer3,...
FROM
(SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY DesignerID) AS RowNo,*
FROM YourTable)t
GROUP BY ID
