I've had clients in that situation before @comicstar0823 and each solution differs. The ideal situation would be the client owns, controls and possesses the domain. GoDaddy has great delegation ability for clients to utilize but I find that it is unfortunately not often implemented.
If the mysterious designer has control of the domain then you need the designer to assist you in the process. I'd start by looking up the domain details to determine who has control of the domain. Come back and let us know the results. I hope that helps?
