So tell us what ID hypothesizes about the designer

The only necessary hypothesis would be that the effects of his design are observable. It's otherwise an interesting question, but it's not particularly relevant to the (hypothesized) fact that something occurred as a result of design.

If one hypothesizes that "this is designed," one would expect to test (in some way) the observable traits by which we could distinguish between design and non-design. The identity and nature of the designer are not germane to that question -- though they would obviously become very important questions if a "design" result ever came up positive.
